ACE is one of Europe’s leading insurance companies with offices across the world. ACE chose us to provide a loose furniture package for their London office and was so pleased with the result that we were asked to work on a similar refresh of their Paris office. The brief was to provide modern, professional solutions for flexible meeting spaces and breakout areas.

Right from the start, this project promised to be a challenging one. Not only did the installation have to be done out-of-hours – as the office would be occupied for the duration of the project – but the city of Paris has strict restrictions on articulated lorries coming into the city. Meticulous planning was vital.

Because we already have strong relationships with suppliers, we could devise a delivery schedule that did not affect the day-to-day running of the busy office. We coordinated multiple manufacturers, lead times and products to fit in with the out-of-hours installation. We also negotiated all deliveries to be on smaller vehicles rather than articulated lorries to comply with the city’s restrictions.

Aside from the logistics, the products we selected were clean, sharp and stylish. Off the back of our work on their London office, the client was confident in our specification expertise.

There was a need from the client for a meeting solution that included power, data and conference call capabilities so we sourced Orangebox Cwcth meeting units. These are self-contained units that not only meet the needs of the client but look chic and modern when in place.

The space was clean, contemporary and stylish. Our experience in managing complex projects with precision and accuracy meant that we were able to complete the instillation on time and to budget while still complying with all the regulations in place. We added value not only by advising on and sourcing the perfect furniture package, but also by utilising our relationships with international partners so a Day2 service can be provided locally, as well as through the UK, whenever the client needs it.
