As a customer of ours since 2008, we were delighted to be able to assist this network company in making their new offices practical, welcoming and comfortable

Our main areas of focus were the main offices, meeting room, boardroom and breakout space. We created all these areas with a modern and professional finish in mind to reflect the company's business and values. We wanted each area of their new offices to be highly functional and selected a range of furniture with comfort, practicality and ease of use in mind. The main office areas were furnished with bench desking featuring cable management and monitor arms for increased desk space and comfortable ergonomic function. The Oscar mesh back chairs provide ultimate comfort with a self-tensioning synchro-mechanism which keeps users supported through each movement they make in the chair. The mesh also keeps the user's back cool and provides sound ergonomic function. Next to desk tower storage pedestals provided a practical way to keep personal possessions, files and other required materials nearby. They also add to the overall professional and modern feel of the office with their sleek finish and smooth operation. We installed a large box base veneer conference table in the boardroom with integral cable management. We completed the look of this room with faux leather conference chairs for a luxurious feel. Throughout the offices, we also placed height adjustable and poseur benches to allow employees the option of working whilst standing. This has been proven to increase productivity and provide a variety of mental and physical health benefits. Poseur tables and stools were also provided in the breakout area, providing the option of a standing or seated lunch/social area.

We recently completed an office refurbishment for a charity who were relocating their headquarters to a more modern premises in Reigate. We were instructed to create a professional but vibrant feel to the new office space and also to create a space that was practical both in terms of working and storage. We provided the clients with 2D and 3D visual plans to allow them to see how we proposed the layout of the new offices and to help them to choose furniture ranges, styles and finishes. The whole project was completed within the time frame given to us by the client. This included working around and liaising with other contractors such as electricians and flooring specialists to ensure practicality of location of things such as floor boxes, but also, again, to make sure that the project was completed on time. The project included refurbishment and furnishing of the following areas:

• Reception Area
• Meeting Rooms
• Offices

The reception area was furnished to include a range of tambour storage and an accessible reception desk finished in a gloss orange and matte white. We also built a bespoke surround around the storage in the reception area to section off the downstairs office from the reception.   The office areas were furnished with grey bench desks with a silver frame and frosted acrylic desk screens with a blue tint. Storage consisted of Bisley tambour cupboards and pedestals underneath the desks. We provided Enjoy chairs for a comfortable seating option that particularly supports the back and lumbar regions of the users.   The new meeting areas were furnished with oval tables and our SJX meeting chairs for a practical and comfortable seating solution. Meeting rooms also benefited from Tilt Top tables for ease of storage and use.     [yikes-mailchimp form="1" title="1" description="1" submit="Sign Up"]

New Furniture For Various Zones of a Corporate Events Area

  A local college engaged our services to furnish their new corporate events area. We designed the layout for various rooms within the area and supplied and installed a range of new furniture. The end result was a modern, practical and functional space which provides great opportunities for relaxing, dining, meeting and networking.   All tables supplied were from the LTC range which are ideal for high use areas, as well as benefiting from a smart, polished chrome base which perfectly complemented the four star base of the Giggle Chairs. Giggle chairs and Lilo sofas were upholstered in vinyl for easy cleaning and maintenance, whilst the walnut Espacio chairs provided a comfortable seating solution for the dining area.     [yikes-mailchimp form="1" title="1" description="1" submit="Sign Up"]

After Optimax became the Ultralase Optimax Group, one of their main objectives was to improve the image of the clinics. Here's how we helped the group to create a brand new clinic in Cardiff.

  Having bought an empty building, the Ultralase Optimax group asked us to create a new clinic from design to build. The design was to include an operating theatre, recovery room, consultation rooms, staff rooms, an air handling plant and reception area. In the reception area we added LED lighting, a large wall graphic and a gloss white reception desk and storage wall to give the clinic a fresh and modern feel. We added Giggle chairs to the lobby to provide comfort for visitors and extend on the modern theme.

We handled all aspects of design and build and completed the project four weeks early and under budget.

  The new clinic was opened by Lee Halfpenny in October 2017 with staff and patients commenting on the "stylish, modern feel". There are now plans in place to refurbish other clinics to match the same design criteria.       [yikes-mailchimp form="1" title="1" description="1" submit="Sign Up"]

Recently, we were asked to carry out a refurbishment of multiple rooms for a local electrical manufacturing company. Here's what we did.

  The refurbishment was to include the boardroom, executive toilets and the executive hallway with multiple changes throughout each room. The boardroom benefited from new carpets, new blinds and new secondary double glazing to keep noise to a minimum throughout conference calls and meetings. This was complemented by the addition of a new acoustic wall and the installation of a new high specification audio/visual set up with surround sound, ideal for video conferences. We added a new 3 piece Walnut veneer boardroom table with full cable management. This ensures cables stay tidy and hidden down through the table legs and into floor boxes. We also added a matching veneer storage unit with integral fridge and included high back leather executive chairs to create a modern and professional feel. The finishing touch to this room came in the form of a new ceiling with a recessed feature light above the boardroom table. We were also instructed to carry out a refurbishment of the executive toilets. Here, we replaced all old porcelain, cubicles and tiling and added new flooring for a fresh look and feel. The executive corridor was also refreshed with new Ash doors, LED lighting and a new ceiling grid and tiles.       [yikes-mailchimp form="1" title="1" description="1" submit="Sign Up"]

Having carried out several refurbishments in the past for various Optimax clinics, we were delighted to rise to the challenge of updating their Leicester Clinic. Here's what we did:

  We were tasked with providing the Optimax clinic in Leicester with a more modern image and bringing the site more in line with Optimax's corporate branding.

Reception Area

We carried out a full refurbishment from floor coverings and lighting to window displays in order to achieve this goal. Our last job at this Optimax clinic in 2005 saw us installing a reception desk and storage wall which by now was in need of refreshing but that the client found was still meeting their requirements. We managed to update the existing furniture and save our client a substantial amount of money by wrapping the desk and storage wall in white Di-Noc, making it look brand new! We also added the Optimax Logo to the front of the desk to match the branding of the business.

Theater Re-Design

We also redesigned and updated the laser theater, making it into a full operating theater with the installation of a new air handling system. The ancillary rooms also benefited from fresh decor and carpets. All of these tasks were completed to health care standards.

High Praise

After the completion of the refurbishment, the clinic was visited by the Mayor for the grand re-opening who was very complimentary of the new look and feel of the Leicester clinic. We also received high praise from the Managing Director of Optimax who said it was the best clinic they've ever had, on time and under budget.       [yikes-mailchimp form="1" title="1" description="1" submit="Sign Up"]

We recently carried out an office conversion and refurbishment for a high-end client in a prestigious London area. Here's what we did:

  Our client contacted us requiring a refurbishment of their basement office which was currently catering to five members of staff. In need of updating and with a change of usage planned, our client sent us a brief to turn the basement office into a hot desk area for eight members of staff.

What We Did

We gave the office a modern and practical refresh, careful to keep the room feeling as light as possible due to it's location. Using bench desks for a modern, minimalistic and cost effective finish, we included dual USB and power modules for easy charging and connectivity for users whilst at the desks. Lunar chairs worked to keep the modern feel and ensure the staff are well supported while the breathable mesh back encourages air flow to keep the user cool. We also made sure that each member of staff had their own personal storage space within easy reach of their desk. The floor was re-carpeted to complete the refurbishment and we included a barrier mat to help prevent dirt and grease from marking the carpet.

Final Thoughts

After the project was finished our client, Diederik said that "the office is looking good" and that it was a "perfect job".       [yikes-mailchimp form="1" title="1" description="1" submit="Sign Up"]

With the mental health of employees becoming big on the agenda of many business owners, one Satellite Communications company contacted us with a brief to carry out refurbishment works on their staff kitchen and break area, as well as create a brand new gym area to allow employees to relax and switch off.

The Brief

The company's previous staff kitchen was very old and tired, was hardly used by employees and was beginning to become more like a storage room than a relaxing break room. We were given a brief to create a modern space that reflected the company image and the value that they put on their staff. The re-fit had to be completed in time for an important meeting that the company was hosting in a few weeks time.

The Design

The design reflected the corporate identity and branding of the company whilst still creating a space that allowed staff to switch off from their day for the time that they were using the facilities. We incorporated a range of different furniture from "Oyster" and "Shore" chairs and stools to "Jive" benching to create a versatile and functional space. We also made use of a range of imagery to brighten up the walls which reflected projects that the company has worked on and their field of expertise, as well as to define the use of the rooms such as the running mural in the gym. From design to completion the refurbishment took six weeks and was finished in time for the company to show off the new area during their international meeting!
