Brenntag is the global market leader in chemical distribution operating a global network with more than 530 locations in 74 countries and a global workforce of more than 14,000 employees. In the UK the company had simply out grown it s UK Headquarters and wanted to remain in a similar location to retain the 160 plus current staff and with a view to allow for expansion. The Lawnswood site was identified as a location that could deliver what was required and over 3x floors was a blank canvass to work on. Working closely with the client and Avanta s interior designer, a modern office interior was designed utilising many years of experience in office design, space planning and sourcing the best manufacturers. Proposals were presented utilising 3D visuals and mood boards with the strong Brenntag corporate branding theme at the forefront. With a project of this size and nature inevitably the design goes backwards and forwards with multiple revisions to refine the design to suit. This project encompassed everything in terms of an Office Fit Out Project including: - Full Height Glazed & Solid Partitions - to create offices, meeting rooms and Director s offices Integrated Storage Wall throughout the scheme with various internal fittings Operable walls to divide boardroom & meeting area on ground floor Floor Coverings - Including specific zones and branding ideas Welfare Facilities - Shower rooms, toilets etc Multiple Social or Break Out & Kitchen Areas with instant hot water and numerous integrated appliances Provision of all the furniture including desking, storage, board room, break out furniture & all seating Acoustic Wall & Ceiling Panels - to create and enhance collaborative thinking area Custom Made Reception Furniture - To fit around and incorporate building columns Under the guidance of a dedicated site based project manager the project took 10 weeks to complete from start to finish and utilised many trades to complete the transformation from empty floors to the finished job, including: - Plastering Partition Erection & Fixing Furniture Installation Extensive Electrical & Mechanical Works Plumbing Carpeting & Laminate Flooring Decorations Tiling Cleaning Outside Ground works Avanta provided all enablings which included site cabins, contractor welfare facilities, general labourers, skips, visqueen, PPE & barriers to keep the site safe, clean and tidy to promote the smooth running of the contract. A FULL TURNKEY PACKAGE! Andrew Chipp (Avanta) commented I am really proud of the Avanta team on delivering this project and giving Brenntag a modern facility to be proud of. We fitted out the old Yeadon office in circa 2000 and this new project shows how much Brenntag has grown in the UK and how office design coupled with technology has progressed especially in the last decade. This site is a showcase of what we can do we hope to complete many more in the future. Gareth Dobinson (Brenntag) commented We are delighted with the transformation and delivery of the Brenntag vision. Working closely with Andrew and the team at Avanta we have created a workplace with the WOW factor for our employees to thrive in.
