Gerald on the Eve of a New Dawn

The part refurbished offices of Gerald Eve’s West End location in London went live today. As the United Kingdom’s 3rd largest partnership of Chartered Surveyors and property consultants, they were keen to revitalise the client facing areas and inject a new dynamism into their open plan areas.

So the reception received a glowing new makeover that sets an impression of confidence, professionalism yet a friendly tone upon entering the space. The welcome at Gerald Eve is always warm and friendly and the built environment now supports this crucial face to the business. The space is bright and open with a comfortable waiting area that reflects what the business stands for as well as being a practical and pleasant bit of space.

The colours in both the reception and the open plan areas show that despite its traditional outlook on how it views itself, it is clear that the business is moving with the times. A fact borne by its success and growth meaning that it needed to take more space for the growing numbers of staff based there. But workspaces today are more than just an incremental increase in workstations mirroring the headcount.

Gerald Eve have recognised the importance that alternative work settings play in the wider spectrum of the office landscape. The work environment is now a key part of the strategy to help people feel a greater sense of belonging, purpose and engagement with the organisation.
