Points of note

Intershop initially engaged Maris to ensure that their preferred building could, within tight financial constraints, provide a modern flexible environment to meet the needs of a rapidly changing e-commerce business. Our proposals were fully comprehensive including installation of new air-conditioning system throughout and an external make-over including installation of 18m high feature ‘chopsticks’

Client comment

"Refurbishment contracts are a headache for anyone running a business. They are disruptive, potentially damaging to business, and can become a black hole for the company finances. I take comfort that Maris is a professional company with whom I can deal with effectively. I was always confident that the building would be ready on time, on budget and that Maris would provide an exciting but practical design to suit the needs of our company."
