Points of note

With this particular project, Maris worked successfully with the client’s own project manager to provide a design that fully optimised the use of space. The challenge for Maris was to provide extensive wall to wall filing facilities that did not impact unnecessarily on general office space.

Client comment

"Maris have done a sterling job in creating an environment that everyone is pleased to work in. The reception area is fabulous and creates an immediate impression to anyone who enters the office and we have been inundated with compliments!

Maris made things easy for us right from the start, taking the initial brief and translating it into our exact requirements. The development team were always available when necessary and willing to deal with queries and problems simply and efficiently, making the whole project as smooth as possible throughout.

We would highly recommend Maris to any company embarking on an office move or refurbishment project."
