What’s involved in a managed office move?

Every move is led by a dedicated project manager who oversees planning, sequencing, and delivery from day one, giving you a single point of contact throughout.

  • Furniture and IT relocation: Dismantling, moving and reinstalling your furniture, alongside relocating desktop computers, phones and other IT peripherals.

  • Asset audit and tracking: Auditing, tagging and tracking your assets so everything arrives in the right place.

  • Packing and storage: Packing for documents and personal items, plus warehouse storage where a move needs to be phased.

  • Communication and project management: Move guides, staff communications and a single point of contact throughout.
