Over a number of years Helen has been working with Proxima Group to support the design and roll-out of various office refurbishments and relocations. The first, and largest project in London, set the tone for both a change in working practices as well as creating a model for the new look and feel.

The London project faced pressure from both budget and timescale as the refurbishment needed to happen whilst the space was still occupied. As the Exec team were based from London it was agreed that a phase of stakeholder and staff engagement was necessary to drive the priorities for the office design and to develop a solution for a more agile environment.

From the insight gathered, we were able to develop a brief and concept to address the growth demand, design settings based on user profiles and create a space which was more aligned to the culture of the organisation.

The team provided support to the procurement process, project & cost management as well as contract administration and design throughout. The success of the project lead to the development and delivery of relocation projects in Leeds and Cardiff.

Working closely with the client we were able to incorporate a proportion of existing furniture and technology, in order to support Proxima’s Carbon reduction strategy. Where new furniture was required to achieve the layouts and generate more hybrid settings, we provided a detailed specification for each project and managed the procurement process.
