Rapport Solutions deliver an office of statement to Maritz Research UK

March 19, 2012 - PRLog -- The new offices in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire provides Maritz Research UK the additional space required as it continues rapid European growth.

The move was announced in May 2011, when the Customer Experience Measurement Specialist reported a 13% increase in revenue to £9.4m and the recruitment of eighty new researchers in Europe and Asia over the previous 12 months - including 40 in the UK. The new 15,500 square foot offices at Artisan, High Wycombe adds 70% more space than the previous base Maritz Research UK, occupied in nearby Marlow.

Maritz Research says it will continue to grow headcount from its current 230 research professionals in Europe and 900 globally.

UK Director of HR Dawn White comments: “The new office allows us to continue growing into 2012 and beyond and provides our staff with a great place to work. We’ve been working hard to ensure the development of the business, and we’re delighted to see this manifested in our commitment to a newly refitted and purposefully-designed office.”

Project Director, Jeanette Grover explained: “The design brief was to create an environment that encouraged team interaction, facilitating communication within the company.

As one of the world’s largest market research agencies, Maritz Research required a relaxed yet professional environment in which to conduct training in-house and meeting facilities that combined both formal and informal space for staff and clients from across the UK and Europe.

Rapport Solutions managed appointment of design team ‘Addictive’ and through a strict tender process the appointment of main contractor Overbury PLC.”

Company Finance Director Deborah Burns commented: “Rapport Solutions expertise and knowledge of the industry is extensive. The tender process and appointment of the contractors and specialists was invaluable. Our office move was a huge change for our business. It was important to have the management support that worked well with our internal team and provided us cost control through the entire programme. Both Jeanette and Chris provided an exceptional service which we would highly recommend to any company moving their business. We are absolutely delighted with our new office.”

Jeanette Grover, Director of Rapport Solutions added: “We take complete management and control of relocation projects. This includes building appraisals, planning and design through our design partners and procurement of furniture and equipment working alongside UK Manufacturers. Contractors and suppliers are appointed following a strict ‘Open Book’ tender process providing complete transparency and cost control. The offices look both professional and informal and the employees at Maritz are enthused and motivated in their new working environment.”
