We like a challenge and so when EMC Design wanted to maximise the office space in their Grade II Listed Building in Bedfordshire we were more than happy.

EMC Design office refit by Source One ConsultingAfter a detailed design and planning process that including getting all the necessary Listed Building Consents, we installed stylish glass walls and partitioning to create a private office and separate meeting room.  With the addition of a bespoke wall-space storage unit we were able to maximise the storage space in the office, while new decor and flooring throughout gave it a light open and airy feel.

Our customers also seem more than happy with the results, with Sophie O’Rourke of EMC Design commenting:

“Throughout the Project Source One were always on hand when we had a question – any time of the day – and they were on site to ensure everything went as smoothly as possible. They really do care so much about the companies they work with and are so personable but with the right mix of professionalism and efficiency”

T-Three, a consultancy company in Cambridgeshire contacted Source one as they wanted to “freshen up” their offices in Cambourne in Cambridgeshire.

The brief was to provide desk mounted office screens and office chairs in a fresh and vibrant colour to give their current offices a lift. Never being one to shirk a challenge, Operations Director, Lisa Lewis set about finding them the perfect solution within budget!

Lisa conducted out a site survey to ensure the desk mounted office partitions would fit exactly to T-Three’s existing workstations and the current layout of the furniture. The screens were then supplied and fitted by the Source One office installations team who were in and out of the premises within 90 minutes to ensure T-Three staff could carry out their duties with as little disruption as possible.

We think the office now looks fresh and amazing.

If you would like to find out more about how we can give your office a facelift, from office partitioning and space planning to office interior design and refurbishment please give us a call on  08456 031585.

Lights, camera, action…. surely an Oscar or BAFTA beckons….well, may be not.

In fact, today we are filming a new short film (ok, video) all about Source One Consulting.  It’s sure to be a smash hit!

As Office Interior specialists we are somewhat more comfortable sitting in an office discussing office design, space planning, refurbishment, fit outs and office furniture than talking in front of a camera but as you can see Lisa, a Source One Director, is giving it a good go.

So why are we doing a movie (ok video)?  Well, while we know our website, brochures, testimonials and case studies give you a good understanding of how we can help your business with everything office interior related, it is diffult to get across that we are real people, who are fun to work with. Working with us will be a good experience, we will deliver on budget, on time and have some laughs together along the way, whatever the project.

If you can’t wait for the epic (ok, video) then why not give us a call today – 08456 031585 – we may have got Lisa away from the camera by then and we promise to talk to you even if we win a BAFTA!

How much Office Space and Office Storage do you need?

Office space is always at a premium for businesses but it is a real challenge to understand how much they actually need and at Source One we have seen many companies moving offices when they don’t need to and others wanting an office redesign when it simply won’t help.

To put it simply, in life a square peg rarely fits in a round hole. That’s why, first thing we do when looking at any office interior project, is carry out a thorough workplace evaluation.

Our workplace evaluation enables us to get to know your business. We take time to watch it work, understand your people and working practices, plans for future growth and all your technical requirements. This evaluation is carried out by our own directors. They set out to concentrate on four important issues:

  • Space requirements – How much office space and storage do you really need? How can you maximise the communication between departments? How will you house your IT equipment?
  • Comparative fit-out costs – What will each proposal cost to fit-out? Which will cost less to run over time?
  • Future growth – Do you have enough space to leave room for growth? Will it scale up or scale down? Is it flexible enough?
  • Office refurbishment vs. office relocation – Should you stay or should you go? Could you make more of the space you’ve already

This evaluation process provides you with the perfect base on which to make a decision about your business.  Source One can not only support your decision making process but then help you deliver your preferred option on time, on budget and with no stress.
