Saracen tops off successful year in the City with £120k fit out

Saracen Interiors has rounded off a successful year, which has included a significant rise in the number of London contracts, with the completion of a £120k fit out and move management project for a Shariah trading investment bank on Old Broad Street.

The fit out is the latest in a long line of contract wins for the workplace consultants, including a complete office refurbishment projects for investment management company, Ferox Capital LLP, a conversion project for one of the new tenants at Royalty House, Watford, and a major fast-track refurb for Creature of London.

The project covered alterations to a meeting room space, to create two further meeting rooms, a prayer room and additional managers’ offices plus the reconfiguration of open-plan office space to accommodate an additional 20 members of staff.

Joint managing director of Saracen Interiors, Michael Page believes that the key to the company’s success in the City lies with its sensitivity to the needs of its clients and its ability to carry out fast-track projects while maintaining a live working environment, he said: “Every effort is made to understand and protect the client’s business which means that, as well as providing working environments that meet the client’s requirements, we ensure that it’s business as usual where possible.

“In this instance, that has meant completing all work during the night and at the weekend in order not to interrupt the working day.

“The site itself was challenging as there was only one point of access for all vans and materials but we’re used to working in central London and the issues that go hand-in-hand with this location and we are adept at finding the right solution to enable us to work quickly and effectively to get the job done.”

Recent clients include Yum Restaurants International, Paragon Community Housing Group, TE Connectivity, Aspect Property Group, Flight Safety, CH2M Hill, Countrywide PLC, Knight Frank, Mitie Engineering, Pizza Hut, Redrow, Soccer World and Thames Water.
