A change in the way of working at Mouchel’s main hub

A key objective of the project was to change ways of working, by turning a formal workplace layout into a more modern flexible environment.

“The additional breakout and informal meeting areas have helped us move towards our vision of ‘onemouchel’ with knowledge and ideas being shared more effectively across the different teams and the business”

The new workspace has achieved the following objectives;

Multi-use breakout, informal meeting and social areas provide more opportunities for collaboration and integration; resulting in better relationships and more effective problem solving
Additional areas to support new ways of working have been created, by reducing individual desk space
Dedicated ‘Hot Desking’ areas give mobile workers a sense of belonging
Private meeting rooms have been included for clients
Mouchel brand is reinforced through furniture colours and finishes
The new workspace environment can be replicated across other Mouchel offices both in the UK and abroad
