Initially
commissioned to build bespoke multi-purpose reception
counters, we successfully developed the client relationship
to be contracted for gym refurbishments.
Installation
included:
Bespoke
reception counter
Decoration
Floor
Coverings
Ceilings
Lighting
Partitioning
We
successfully developed and installed bespoke reception
counters, which were intricate structures with a unique
design. Combining multiple materials, including a stainless
steel wave, granite worktop and integrated refrigeration
cabinet, these counters were a triumph in impactful branding
coupled with functional design which enabled limited
resource to multi-task within a defined area.
Our
refurbishments also reflected the bold branding including
deployment of a specially created “Hi-Life Blue”.
We ensured quality of decoration by applying additional
coats of paint in order to achieve and maintain the specified
shades of colour.
As
clubs were operational during refits, special care was
needed and our dedication to health and safety ensured
that clients were protected from the works.
An aggressive marketing strategy for newly re-branded clubs with associated
local PR required strict adherence to deadlines which was achieved by our
hands-on, flexible project management.
