Project to refurnish Training Facilities at Span Set UK in Middlewich, Cheshire

Although a long term client, when Span Set wanted to completely modernize the in house training facilities at their premises in Middlewich, they awarded the furnishing part of the project after competitive tender to us at R & A Office Environments Ltd…We embraced the brief, understood the requirements of the client, arranged viewings and samples and delivered the work on time and to budget, and to conform to Corporate Identity guidelines issued from the International Head Office in Switzerland.

The transformation was stunning and all staff and management both local and international were delighted with the reception, soft seating and the training rooms which were all refurnished to a high standard. Our thanks go to all the Management and staff who were involved, especially Eunice Williams who was the main contact at Span Set Ltd

Span Set UK

Span Set UK design, manufacture and supply Height Safety, Lifting and Load Control products at their custom built Cheshire plant . Over the years, R & A Office Environments Ltd have worked with the Directors to supply all their office furniture and seating requirements.When they decided to have a complete refurbishment of their Training Facility, R & A were asked to provide all the new training tables and chairs for the upper training floor, along with some great looking soft seating on the ground floor. Lastly a completely new reception desk for the new area created to receive the attendees of the training courses.

We got the plans, did the layouts and costed the requirements, enlisting the co-operation of the manufacturer, Gresham, so that the project manager could see, touch and feel all the products at their Bolton Showroom.Once the plans and layouts were agreed the orders were placed and R & A made sure it was all delivered and installed on time with the minimum of fuss. The job was on budget and the training rooms and reception areas looked spectacular.

It was a great job, well done by all concerned.

Eunice Williams, Project Manager at Span Set stated “I was very happy with the way Richard at R & A was able to manage all the furniture and seating side of the Project, leaving me to concentrate on the other aspects of the job. The end result is amazing, and we are delighted with how it has all turned out”.

Workplace Design has a great effect on productivity in the office, or wherever you work !

More people are working remotely and not at their desks.

At any given time, about one-third of all knowledge workers in private and public sectors are working remotely. Only 30 to 40 percent of employees with assigned spaces are actually using them. Mobility is crucial to today’s workforce. In addition to their offices, employees are working in airplanes, in hotels, at client sites and at home. They need to be supported with technology and business processes that allow them to work effectively wherever that may be. In the workplace, mobility may require more “unassigned” or touchdown space for individuals who are out of the office for a significant portion of the day. Organizations also need flexible space for employees who might be visiting from another floor building or site.

Flexible work boosts engagement and satisfaction.
Flexible work – allowing employees to work when, how and where they choose – generally receives a positive response. Thirty percent of employees with easy access to flexible work arrangements report feeling very engaged in their jobs. Compare this to the 19 percent engagement among those with moderate flexibility and the 10 percent engagement among those with little access to flexibility. Sixty percent of employees with high access to flexibility are very satisfied with their jobs, compared with 44 percent of those with moderate access and only 22 percent of those with low access.

Activity-based work settings are on the rise.
The nature of today’s work is so complex and unpredictable, and so single, all-purpose workstation doesn’t work for most knowledge workers.7 Workplace designers need to provide a variety of “activity settings,” or purpose-built areas for specific activities accessible to all. Activity settings might include impromptu meeting areas, formal meeting spaces, project rooms, individual work spaces or break areas that make up for the shortcomings of exclusively cellular or open-plan environments.

One size does not fit all.
At R& A Office Environments Ltd we are aware of the requirements of a multi layered skill workforce. We ensure that the brief to innovate and produce great space filled with great product is fulfilled.
