The Story
James Fisher Everart Ltd needed to relocate to accommodate an expanding business and a brand new office space was found. Cupaz were already an existing furniture supplier to James Fisher Everard Ltd and were asked to be included in the initial tender process. Against stiff competition, we were awarded the contract on the basis of the range of alternative layout ideas presented to the client as well as a highly competitive price structure. The project was installed on time and within budget, despite many client led changes 'on the hoof'.

Conclusion
The prime location of this site, overlooking Liverpool Street Station, meant that it needed something special. We achieved this and more, creating a very space efficient and productive environment, with facetted glass walls to the management offices, an open central kitchen area as a feature rather than a hidden function, and lots of storage. The reception was open and light, as were all the internal offices, whilst still maintaining the high density of staff necessary for such a bus organisation.

Final Comment This was an important project for Cupaz as we were up against stiff competition and this was a good test of not only our pricing structure but also our ability to innovate and present creative options, challenging convention, and proving that thinking 'outside the box' was positive benefits to all parties. |
