Investing in Your Office Move or Relocation Wisely
When it comes to managing an office relocation in London, it is very easy to jump the gun and make a big mistake. If you want to avoid the risk of making said mistake, though, you should absolutely look to invest in the office move properly. This means not only hiring the best office relocation company in London but it also means making the right commitment and plan to avoid disaster.
Here, then, are some things to think about as you go about the office move or relocation process to avoid expensive mistakes.
Do You Have A Short-Term Alternative?
As your office move takes place, it normally means forcing your staff to stop working for a prolonged period of time. However, you might be able to still carry out some work – such as tech support or updating your website – from home. Try and get some of your key staff set up with work from home locations and you can probably make sure your company is still capable of turning a profit while you are moving.
The removals process is going to be costly in both time and money, so at least this helps you bring something in.
However, Try To Invest In Downtime Preparation
Since you might still need to lose some or most of your workplace functionality, we highly recommend that you bring in some help and support to assist. This means bringing in some kind of contingency in the weeks and months ahead of moving your office in London.
So, try and spend a bit of extra time going through the office removals process with your staff. Prepare them for the risk of downtime, and try to really boost productivity in the weeks/months prior to the move to help manage cashflow.
Time Is Money – Hire The Right People
To invest in the best outcome, though, it is always better to spend a little more on hiring the right people. Picking a London office relocations company that has a lot of long-term experience is very important to your move. This means they arrive with the experience of planning and then arranging the move so that everything can come to life as expected.
As ever, look to hire someone with a proven track record of doing things in a timely and organised manner, albeit without a reputation for cutting corners or taking risks.
Prepare For Some Mistakes
No matter how good the company you hire is, though, mistakes during office relocations can be common. It can be as simple as things being put in the wrong place or transit delays holding up one part of the job. However, don’t expect everything to flow 100% smoothly; your best case scenario is to hire someone who can keep the mistakes and the issues to a bare minimum.
Moving your London office can be a nightmare unless you work with the right people, plan accordingly, and prepare yourself for the likely risk of something going wrong. Get that in place, though, and the whole process becomes much easier!
