Ditch London Removal Blues with Business Storage
You’ll know it’s time to move in your business life when there aren’t enough seats in the boardroom for a full staff meeting or extensive use is being made of the low level filing facility (the floor). Moving office can pull together your staff and your team, or it can lead to months of frustration.Moving the contents of a domestic home is one of the most stressful things you will ever do. Magnify that stress factor by several powers and you’ve got an idea of what it could be like for relocating an entire business, particularly if it’s a London removal!
The eternal optimists among us say that moving is the best time to restructure and streamline.Not a challenge, but an opportunity to get rid of all that unwated business baggage.That can be true, provided you hire a reliable and competent removal company that surveys your current and intended office before the move and is prepared to assist in planning and co-ordination right through to the unpacking of the last box. The pain of London removals is also eased if you’ve begun the planning process well in advance using pre-set business milestones such as staffing levels as the indicators for a move.
The trauma of London removals can be avoided altogether if you look into alternatives. Are there better ways for you to use your current property?If the number of staff is the real issue and you can’t implement shift work or hot desking practices, then clear up some extra space by outsourcing some activities off site if you can (does your accounts department need to share the same office space for example) and putting stuff you don’t need in the office (archive files, stationery etc) but do need access to in secure storage.
Specialist London removals firm Amber Moves for example has a modern, full computerised, warehouse equipped with two high capacity overhead cranes providing secure storage in 20 ft steel containers.Furniture, household goods and archives can all be stored safely with controlled humidity and temperatures to reduce any environmental damage.If you are storing valuable items, you can ensure their safety by protecting the containers with alarmed protection.Short or long term storage is available ranging from a 100 cu ft unit through to the 20 ft containers and is charged weekly from as little as £10.
The storage solution may only be a temporary palliative or it could be the ultimate solution.It may only delay the inevitable dat that you have to move your business, but it will still give you extra time to plan for a smooth relocation and do things at your own pace and be more efficient.And for London removals, getting extra breathing space is a nice change to the usual hectic routine!
