2015 has been a mammoth year for Posture People. In addition to celebrating 10 years of business, we also hired 2 shiny new staff, expanded our services (to include meeting room pods and more acoustic solutions amongst other things), and last but not least, we got the keys to our fabulous beach front warehouse.
We were looking for a new premises to inspire our staff and live our motto “love your workspace” and when we found out that a warehouse on the beach had become available, our staff corralled us into a viewing. It was important for us to take them to have a look around to see how the space would work for all involved and needless to say, we were sold within 10 minutes. Aware that it would require renovation from the ground up, we all pitched in, and came up with a vision of our dream office.
So how did we go about it?….
Initial Ideas
Taking the team to see the unit created a strong momentum from the start. We began by making a board for all of us to access over on Pinterst. “Our dream office” was soon filled with natural lights, awesome furniture and star wars bins great storage solutions. We then turned to our office move calculator to work out all the costs (a move like this always consists of some obvious, some more unexpected costs) and figure out a plan for what we could do now and what would we save for the future.
Space Planning
Space planning is one of the most crucial services for any office. Moving to a bigger office, without making the most of the available space, is counterproductive and ends up being more costly in the long run. We wanted to create a productive, active and inspirational space for all of our staff as well as having plenty of room to carry out ergonomic assessments for our visiting clients and having a showroom for our products. In order to do this we planned our office numerous times and even managed to fit in a lovely break out room and a bar!
Moving in
So on 24th July we upped sticks and moved out of our Seven Dials office into our new beach front warehouse in Hove. We packed, lifted, shifted and schlepped ready for us to settle in to our new work environment on Monday 27th, and at the end of the day we celebrated with some well-deserved glasses of sparkling wine.
With thanks to…
