Clients key concerns & challenges
- Consolidation of 6 separate not-for-profit organisations in to a single HQ location
- The selected building needed to accommodate a high density of flexible meeting room facilities and a Members area, which were separate of the open plan offices
- Disposal of existing offices to minimise double overhead costs
Outcome
- Acquired a prime City building that portrayed the correct image & culture of UK Finance
- A flexible workplace strategy was adopted to facilitate the consolidation of the different organisations
- The offices included high end flexible meeting room suites capable of hosting key Member and client events
The complexity of consolidating six separate not-for-profit organisations into a single HQ was a real challenge.
UK Finance’s new office needed lots of meeting rooms as well as desk space – and a Members Area completely separate from all their operations.
We helped them dispose of their existing real estate in tandem with the move to reduce double overheads. A new site, a flexible space with suites perfect for Member and client events, was found in the City.
To make life simpler, the charity asked us to handle the move too; giving their integration team the freedom to focus on creating a shared culture to take the organisation forward.
They have worked tirelessly and managed a very efficient project team, which has seamlessly provided a full service, combining all aspects of the delivery to enable our office move. With the C&W project team handling all aspects of the property relocation, and disposal of existing leases, has allowed our own integration project to focus on other key issues without the worry of our premises requirements.”
