Mobile Storage Project Delivers Big Increase in Filing Capacity for Suffolk Business

When one of Source One’s Suffolk based customers needed to increase their filing and storage capacity within their existing office space we knew we had to look for a more versatile and flexible solution to maximise the available space.

Mobile Storage for Suffolk ClientThe solution was a Mobile Storage and Filing System which provided multiple shelving units that can all be accessed from just one aisle (as opposed to multiple aisles for static storage shelves). The installed system actually increased the filing capacity by between 75 and 90% in the same space as the previous storage.

Fast, Efficient, Weekend Installation

Installing a new filing system can be quite a disruptive process to a busy office environment…. as files have to be cleared and old shelving removed, new system installed and then all the files have to be replaced.  So to minimise the impact on our clients business we completed the whole project over 1 weekend, so that come Monday morning they could simply carry on as normal – albeit with a much better and bigger filing system.

Ok so it’s not quite magic but it’s pretty close :)

We have installed this Wallspace Storage system in the meeting room at EMC Design in Bedford.  Not only is it a great way to hide utilities including meters and telephony, it also adds useful office storage space to what would normally be considered unusable office space.  Not forgetting, of course, that it looks rather nice.

Wallspace systems can be used in spaces of all shapes and sizes, completely configurable to the type of storage you need such as stationery drawers, filing or even a wardrobe. Available in a wide range of finishes to match your existing decor and furniture.

Bedford Office Refit Creates a Great Office in a Grade II Listed Building

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”

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.
