How To Move Office In Rotherham With Minimal Downtime
Reducing Downtime
Most corporate offices are busy places that can’t afford to have much downtime. If you’re moving offices to upsize, downsize or as a strategic move, these tips will help you move with confidence and with minimal impact on your business operations.
Inventory what you have
What will you be taking with you? Is there anything that’s surplus to requirements? The sooner you can determine what you really want to transfer to your new office, the better. If you’re downsizing, you may want to use storage or offload surplus items. You could donate furniture and equipment to a charity or local school. Or, you could make some extra money by selling. This is particularly important if you’re looking to downsize.
By having a complete inventory of the items that you want to remove, this will make getting an accurate removal quote much easier. It will also help you to double-check that all your items have reached where they’re supposed to go when you move.
Opt for a full move-in service
Some companies will just collect, transit and drop-off your items. However, others will be happy to do the heavy lifting and place items exactly where you need them in your new building. Need your desks and chairs set up to resume work as quickly as possible? No problem. The team at Hallam Removals are fully qualified to handle office equipment with the utmost care, whilst being efficient.
Organise utilities in good time
If you haven’t got your energy, telecommunications or Wi-Fi networks sorted for your new address, this should be a priority to reduce business downtime.
Don’t forget to publish your change of address
The last thing you’ll want is for your post or visitors to turn up to the wrong address. For post, it’s recommended that you set up a redirect service with the Royal Mail. Update your website and social media channels and create a spreadsheet of contacts that need to be informed of your change of address ahead of time, so you don’t forget anyone important.
Set your team up for remote working
If you know there will be some days where your staff can’t work in the office, you could organise to have some or all of your employees work remotely until the new workspace is completely ready.
