Relocating your office will take longer than you imagine, so it is vital to give yourself enough time to plan and execute your office relocation. This will help to minimise disruption to your business and reduce the downtime that will impact your productivity levels.

Why it can be a positive step to move your office

For many growing UK businesses, it makes sense to choose a new location for your office to give your business a better profile and improve accessibility for your staff and customers or clients. Moving your office to a place with more space and in a location that offers good proximity to local amenities and transport links can provide a more diverse talent pool if you plan to hire more staff.

You will need to make sure to choose a new office space that is large enough to accommodate your current and future needs. It would help if you also considered the layout of the space and how it will meet the needs of your employees.

Harrow Green offers Space Utilisation Surveys, which will help you to utilise your new office space best to save time and money before you move in. We now live and work very differently, with a blend of hybrid working and collaboration spaces becoming the norm rather than dedicated offices. 

A space utilisation survey from Harrow Green can be a valuable tool to use before you move into your new office premises. Once the survey is complete, you will receive a report that suggests different ways of working, influences office redesigns, and helps identify opportunities for future savings.

Office Furniture Relocation and Management Services

Your office furniture is an integral part of your business. It can impact employee productivity, morale, and even your brand image. That is why it is essential to choose the right office furniture and to relocate it properly when you move and want to redesign your office layout.

Harrow Green offers a comprehensive range of office furniture relocation and management services, including:

• Furniture assessment and planning: We will work with you to assess your furniture requirements and develop a plan for your relocation or refurbishment.
• Furniture supply: We provide a wide range of carefully sourced office furniture to suit all budgets and needs.
• Furniture delivery and installation: Our highly skilled fitters and engineers will deliver and install your furniture to your exact specifications.
• Furniture maintenance: We offer a dedicated help desk to support any furniture maintenance you need.

Whether you are moving to a new office or want to refresh your existing space, we can help you create a productive and inspiring work environment for your employees.

Office Relocation Logistics

Moving an office can be a complex logistical task. This is why it is important to hire a reputable moving company that has plenty of previous experience in relocating offices. Harrow Green has over 30 years of providing professional office relocation services to UK businesses across the country. 

You can hire experienced professionals to help you with your office relocation process, such as a separate moving company, an IT company, and an office furniture company. However, managing many different relocation teams can be a real headache, especially if they don’t communicate efficiently with each other or coordinate their tasks properly. 

This is why it would be better to get all your office relocation services from Harrow Green and have them all organised and integrated to deliver a seamless, stress-free service. 

Change management

Change management is the process of helping your staff, customers, or clients adapt to your change of circumstances. It is important to have a change management plan in place when relocating your office to minimise disruption and ensure a smoother transition for everyone involved and who will be directly affected by your office move. We can help you with this, too!

Here are some tips for managing change during an office relocation:

• Communicate early and often. Let your employees know about the relocation plans as soon as possible and keep them updated on the progress throughout the process. Be transparent about the reasons for the relocation and the benefits it will bring to the business.
• Get employee buy-in. Involve employees in the planning process and listen to their feedback. This will help them feel more invested in the change and make it more likely that they will support it.
• Provide support and training. Help employees adjust to the new office space and provide training on any new technologies or systems that will be used. You can also offer counselling or other support services to help employees cope with the change.
• Celebrate successes. Be sure to celebrate the successful relocation of your office and recognise the hard work of your employees. This will help to boost morale and create a positive feeling about the change.
