INVESTEC

Private bank, Investec, marked their impressive business expansion with a move to stylish new state of the art offices in the heart of St Helier’s financial district, which perfectly showcases the company’s professionalism.

The bank and asset finance moved from their old offices of approximately 2,700 sq. ft into new accommodation of around 5,100 sq. ft on the fourth floor of Liberation House, located opposite the International Finance Centre. Investec is only the second business to have signed a Green Lease for their new premises in Jersey. Main contractors for the fit-out project were Mitchell and architects and designers were Axis Mason. The FF&E package for the project was delivered by Style Office.

Investec worked with Style Office and Axis Mason to create a modern working environment with staff wellbeing at the forefront. They opted for open plan setting with collaborative areas, meeting space and focus work options. The break out area was to double up as an entertaining space and the client suite was designed to make a statement.

Style Office worked extensively with Axis Mason, to ensure the design was flawless, while incorporating what they needed operationally. The furniture selected was perfectly suited in both functionality and practicality, with all finishes, colours and textures chosen to be part of the beautiful design, with biophilia incorporated to enhance the office space and support the wellbeing focus.

HAWKSFORD

Hawksford decided to switch to the hybrid working model at the beginning of 2021.

Previously the office housed 165 people across four floors on an entirely desk-based set-up. The office can now take up to 110 people on any particular day so the office has capacity for two-thirds of the workforce and is now on two floors only allowing Hawksford to reduce their real estate costs.

Style Office tendered for and were selected by Hawksford to furnish their new hybrid workspace. They utilised all their experience to help create an environment that will attract the best talent, help all Hawksford staff feel connected to each other and the organisation’s purpose and support greater collaboration balanced with quiet, distraction free focus.

Everywhere is completely Wi-Fi enabled with power and USB chargers, even in the soft seating, and all is easily configurable to work for teams or for individual work.

GRANT THORNTON

For a number of years, Style Office have been assisting Grant Thornton in creating a first-class environment where talented people want to work. To accommodate a growing number of employees, Grant Thornton secured an additional floor at Kensington Place. Style Office managed the co-ordination, procurement and installation of the furniture in collaboration with the client project team and the main contractor.

The project presented a number of challenges – first to provide furniture solutions which had cost benefits whilst meeting the performance specification of the rest of the office and second the installation and furniture relocation phase coincided with the start of the Covid pandemic, which required careful planning and co-ordination with the main contractor. The end result is a resilient workspace, designed to adapt and evolve over time, optimising real estate and fostering high levels of employee engagement.
