First time mover

We understand an office move feels overwhelming, especially if you do not have any prior experience of relocation. Our move managers will be on hand walking you through the entire process, every step of the way.

9

IT considerations

In the first instance we provide a full decommissioning and recommissioning service. To ensure safe transportation of all equipment, our team use a variety of packing solutions from computer crates and flat screen covers through to keyboard protection and bubble wrap.

Downtime

To keep downtown to a minimum our team of experts create a detailed program of works set against clear timescales for every stage of your move. This forms a key part of the partnership contract and is put in place from the offset to allow us to collectively ensure you have the required staffing levels to ensure peace of mind throughout the relocation process.

Resistance to change

Engaging the whole team from the offset is key. It will allow time for questions to be answered, reassurance to be given and to ensure everyone feels a part of the move. We encourage appointing ‘change champions’ within the organisation to support colleagues through the transition.

Don’t just take
our word for it…

Commercial deliver. We are fortunate to work with some amazing partners. Here are some examples of great things we hear every day.

French Connection are indebted to the expertise of the Commercial Interiors team for their support with planning an operation that allowed our onsite teams to carry on working while the move took place and set out in precise detail for each area of the office. They provided boxes and packaging, stored equipment safely and allowed us to rationalise our furniture and arranged for any items no longer needed to be recycled.

TRANSITION MANAGEMENT 

We have been working with clients to move from one location to another for more than 30 years.

We supply a comprehensive move management checklist and whether it is a relocation, expansion, remodelling or downsizing, we have it covered. The range of support includes:

 

  • Packing and preparation
  • Space planning and move management
  • IT and technology expertise
  • Dilapidation works
  • Document storage
  • Clearance and disposal
  • Recycling and reuse
  • Crate hire

WE TAKE A FRESH APPROACH

Changes in the way we work, often mean changes to the places we work in.

Recent trends towards more flexible hybrid working patterns, have seen an increase in companies re-thinking the volume, location and function of their physical workspaces.

For many businesses, this means remodelling or downsizing their office spaces. Others are consolidating multiple sites into larger premises where people can come together, when not working remotely. Often, this presents an opportunity to set a new real estate strategy, streamlining overheads.

Places for people to thrive.

With remote working here to stay for many organisations, and staff looking for savings from moving out of the big cities, corporate clients are taking a fresh look at locations that offer work-life balance and avoid capital-city premiums.

Develop and plan

Before beginning any project, it is important to take the time to clearly define what the desired outcome is. It helps to inform decisions and ensure the project is feasible and achievable.

Preparation

Let us start by ensuring your business is in the best position to move.

Assess

We will work out how much office space you need & other requirements.

Schedule

A careful timeline of action will keep your office move on track and ensure you never miss a deadline.

Budget

We will help you to work out how much your office move is going to cost, so you can set a realistic office relocation budget.

Secure your lease

Our team can help you negotiate a competitive and favourable office lease.

Interior design

Commercial’s design team can create an inspiring working environment that enables your staff and business to thrive.

Communications

With Commercial’s help, you will be guaranteed that your new office is ready for action with IT and phone cables in the right place.

Engagement

We will work with you to announce your office move to staff so they feel supported, valued and engaged throughout the process.

Don’t just take
our word for it…

Commercial deliver. We are fortunate to work with some amazing partners. Here are some examples of great things we hear every day.

Commercial solved a costly problem related to storing unused furniture resulting from changes in our property portfolio. Their team conducted a comprehensive stock inventory of items across various storage locations, identifying those suitable for reuse, continued storage, or recycling. This enabled us to efficiently decide to reuse or recycle the majority of our furniture, leading to a significant reduction in our storage costs.
The Tesco procurement team have been delighted with the way Commercial share our desire to entrench sustainability into our supply chain – we really are kindred spirits. Our ethical and sustainability policies are of paramount importance to our reputation and the Commercial team reviewed and approved all products in a short timeframe. Commercial are already committed to the ETI base code and are working on achieving EcoVadis accreditation for all suppliers on the Tesco account.
The new Walsall Housing Group office is a fantastic, fresh and modern workplace thanks to the wonderful work of the Commercial interiors team. They created a steering group to work alongside us to understand our demands and held regular meetings during the design process to keep us informed of the progress. Our desire was for a more collaborative space, with meeting booths and one-to-one seating, rather than traditional desks – and they delivered a fantastic final fit-out over the full four-floor building.
Each year, Commercial supplies accessory packs to graduate trainees at a leading accountancy firm, which are then picked, packed, and delivered to their home addresses by the Commercial Foundation. This not only guarantees that every new employee has the necessary equipment to be productive from their first day but also allows their IT team to focus on other responsibilities. Collaborating with the Commercial Foundation generates substantial social value returns on investment for the firm and contributes to improving the lives of the Foundation's volunteers.
Wollens have enjoyed a long-standing and fruitful partnership with Commercial because they are always introducing innovations and improvements to our IT environment. As the threat of cyber-attacks increases it was vital that we strengthened our capabilities for dealing with a ransomware attack with a cloud-based backup solution. Our solution means data cannot be altered or deleted, giving us a crucial way of recovering data to minimise any potential downtime and financial losses
Working with Commercial for our branded materials has proved to be effective and collaborative. The team is efficient and they listen to requests for improvements. Commercial has made branded goods simple.
As E-commerce in retail continues to grow, Commercial’s stock-management and fulfilment expertise has allowed a leading UK retailer to free huge amounts of warehouse space. Commercial took on the stocking of our employee uniform, transferring to a new supplier with the management of the supply being consolidated into their existing supply accounts. Not only did this free vital space in their distribution centre, the consolidated supply of all GNFR delivered significant delivery cost savings.
At JoJo Maman Bébé we are happy to work with the Commercial Foundation and support inspiring work they do to help disadvantaged young adults. Like us, the Foundation are a B Corp certified organisation that is proven to put purpose ahead of profits. We have enjoyed working with their volunteers to help with a mug-making activity. We are now working alongside them to create an introduction gift for our new employees, these include printed mugs, pens and notebooks.
