Global Insurance Company

Client Business Profile

This client is a global insurance company with a strong presence in the UK. They operate from multiple office locations to provide insurance services. Their Glasgow office is a key hub in supporting their northern operations and required a workspace upgrade to align with their brand values of collaboration and efficiency.

The Brief

The client sought to transform their existing office into a modern, open plan workspace. Ultimate were tasked with creating an environment that would prompt collaboration, improve staff morale and reflect the company’s commitment to excellence. This involved a full office fitout with a tight deadline to ensure minimal disruption to business operations.

The Design

Partnering with Aitken Turnbull Architects, a contemporary design scheme was developed, focusing on functionality and aesthetics:

  • Open-plan workspaces, to prompt collaboration and communication.
  • Breakout areas to provide spaces for relaxation and informal meetings.
  • Private and technology driven meeting rooms to ensure the business is equipped with modern AV for easy communication with both colleagues and clients.
  • Subtle integration of the client’s corporate identity through furniture and graphics.
  • Incorporating environmentally friendly materials and energy-efficient lighting systems.
  • Meticulous planning of layout to maximise natural light and optimise flow of movement throughout the office.

The Project

The project was completed over a 7-week period, adhering to a phased programme to minimise disruption. Key deliverables included:

• Complete refurbishment of existing workspaces

• Installation of modern furniture and AV solutions

• Reconfiguration of utilities to support the new design

• Coordination with the client’s project team to meet specific requirements

Each phase was carefully executed, with our site team and subcontractors working collaboratively to ensure smooth progression and timely delivery.

The Results

The new office has been well-received by the client’s team, delivering a space that meets their operational needs and providing a welcoming and inspiring environment for staff and visitors alike. Our works on this project have successfully enhanced employee satisfaction and productivity and provided a modern, professional look that supports the client’s brand image. This project is a true demonstration of our expertise in delivering bespoke fitouts tailored to the unique needs of clients in regulated industries.
