Nestlé, Dalston

A swift transformation for a global giant.

Nestlé, a company dedicated to enhancing quality of life through nutrition, health, and wellness.

They required a rapid and comprehensive office conversion at their Dalston location. Recognising the importance of a productive and ergonomic workspace, they partnered with iQ Workspace to deliver a project that demanded both speed and precision.

The project aimed to create a functional and aesthetically pleasing environment that would support Nestlé’s commitment to excellence.

Office Space Planning

Furniture Installation

The brief

  • Nestlé’s initial requirements included the provision of robust lockers and storage solutions to optimise space utilisation and organisation.
  • They also requested a zoning room divider system to create distinct functional areas within the office, enhancing privacy and collaboration.
  • The brief was extended to include recycling separator units, reflecting Nestlé’s commitment to sustainability and responsible waste management.
  • The scope of the project rapidly expanded to encompass the design and installation of workspace desking, ergonomic seating, fabric screens for acoustic and visual privacy, and planter boxes to introduce biophilic elements.
  • Nestlé also stipulated that the entire project, from sourcing to installation, had to be completed within an exceptionally tight timeframe of just two weeks, driven by an impending visit from senior executives.

The challenges

  • The primary challenge was the extremely compressed timeline, with only two weeks to source, produce, and deliver all specified items, compounded by the need for specific colour finishes.
  • The project’s evolving requirements necessitated flexibility and adaptability, requiring iQ Workspace to adjust plans and manage changes quickly while maintaining a tight schedule.
  • Ensuring the quality and consistency of all furniture and fittings, particularly given the rapid turnaround, was paramount to meeting Nestlé’s high standards.
  • Coordination of the different suppliers and the installation team whilst respecting the short time window.

The results

Despite the formidable time constraints, iQ Workspace successfully secured order confirmations and managed to manufacture and deliver all required products within the 14-day deadline.

  • The final delivery encompassed a comprehensive suite of office furniture, including matrix bench desks, ergonomic Veneto executive task chairs, modular lockers, storage planter units, recycling units, storage units, meeting tables, and fabric screens, all supplied by Elite Office Furniture and Formetiq.
  • The converted office space achieved a harmonious balance of functionality and aesthetics, providing Nestlé employees with a comfortable and productive work environment.
  • The office refurbishment was handed back to the factory and the factory was delighted with the results.
  • The client was very happy with all the products provided.

Throughout the process we were guided by what felt like a real business partner, not just a supplier. This kind of service is second to none, especially in the current Covid-crisis circumstances.

Our business is all about helping companies to improve their customer experience, to do this we needed to improve our employee experience in the office. iQ Workspace was recommended and Bob went out of his way to be sure his solution was going to work best for us. It was all fitted as planned and has improved the office atmosphere, an essential investment in customer experience. Thank you all.

iQ workspace has been my go-to provider for office furniture and accessories since the beginning. They are professional, industrious, supportive and responsive in ways that no other supplier has been. The team are proactive and efficient, providing an insight into the latest developments and solutions and this ability has proved a boon during the recent pandemic with timely and purposeful recommendations for making the best use of our accommodation. I would not and do not hesitate to recommend them whenever asked and look forward to a great future relationship with total confidence.

I have worked with iQ Workspace since they began, on a number of projects of varying sizes and complexities. Each project has been a complete success and iQ Workspace have worked with us to meet our ever-changing timescales and demands. I thoroughly enjoy working with the team who are all lovely, from the back office right through to the gentleman delivering and constructing the items of furniture on the installation. The team have a wealth of knowledge about their products. There is a wide selection of equipment and furniture to choose from in multiple colours and fabric options which are fantastic quality. I highly recommend them.
