Advice for your office removal from BCL

Office removals advice

It doesn't matter if you're relocating your company across the country, moving to a new floor, or refurbishing your existing premises - you need to plan and prepare in advance to ensure a smooth transition.

Your move champions

The people you select as your move champions will be key to ensuring your move progresses as smoothly as possible. Establish clear roles and responsibilities for your move champions and hold regular meetings to ensure key dates and targets are met.

Select your office removals specialist

Working hand in hand with your move champions should be the move project manager from your office removals company. The move project manager will have the experience and knowledge to point out pitfalls in plans, and help guide your move champions towards a smooth and stress-free move.

Choosing the right property for your business

You've decided that your current premises aren't working for the needs of your business, your lease is expiring or you want to relocate to another part of your city or the country.

A feasibility study is crucial at this stage to help you determine exactly how much space you'll need, how to best accommodate your staff, your current and your future business needs. This will help you find the right space for your business to grow, reducing the need to move again in the future. Expert advice will help you avoid the pitfalls of choosing your own property and will point out issues to help you save money in the short and long term.

Choosing the right office furniture

Choosing the right office furniture isn't as simple as picking out styles you like. You need to consider health and safety, how it will fit into your workspace, along with it suiting the image you want to project for your employees and visitors.

Relocating your IT equipment and telecommunications

Many people overlook this crucial part of their business until the last moment. Take the time to discuss your IT and telecommunications removal needs with your move project manager to ensure that you have little to no downtime for your IT and telecommunications services.

Declutter and archive

When you're moving, it is a perfect time to declutter your offices and place files that you must keep but don't need to access daily into archive storage.Your move project manager can help you arrange for secure shredding or archive storage before your move.

Disposal of redundant office furniture and IT equipment

You need to consider the responsible disposal of your unwanted furniture and IT equipment. You can donate, recycle or sell your unwanted items. Discuss your needs in advance with your move project manager, who can take care of this task on moving day.

On moving day

  • Make sure your staff know where they should report on moving day, as well as their new location
  • Ensure security is in place at your new premises
  • Have an induction for your staff to introduce them to the new location
  • Make sure everyone knows about fire routes, meeting points and who the fire marshalls are for your new location
  • Unpack, relax and enjoy your new offices!
