Project Orsted Windpower
Value Range £100k
Sector / Industry Office & Commercial Workplace

Our Approach

We created a full inventory of the existing furniture to establish what could be re-used and what would be sent for recycling. We put together a plan of action to have the chairs refurbished and re-covered, Height adjustable desks converted from 1800mm large desks to 1600m and 1400mm hot desks, and re-using existing conference tables where suitable.

Outcome

The furniture installation was completed over 3 days within the client’s timescale and budget.

This project was deemed such a success that Orsted are proposing to use the same template for future refurbishments across the world.

What did the customer say?

“Refurbishing our West Coast hub was an important project for us and it was equally important that we did it in an environmentally friendly manner, in keeping with our position as a world leaders in sustainability. Centric really understood the brief and delivered an effective an creative solution that we’re really pleased with.”
