Established in 1977, Claremont Group Interiors has developed a number of specialist brands to complement its core business of design and fit-out. The main focus of this has been the development of ‘Intelligent Interiors’ which offers a number of technology orientated products and services in line with the increasing need to provide intuitive technology within the workplace. Viewpoint provides integrated audio-visual and multi-media solutions for the corporate and education sector. This division also incorporates Claremont Training Interiors who provide integrated electronic classrooms, mainly for the defence industry.
AirAngel provides branded wired and wireless high speed broadband internet access for guest areas, an increasing requirement for business people on the move. This product has developed and in 2005, a stand-alone business was established, with Claremont retaining a shareholding. These products and services are particularly attractive to the hospitality sector, with hotels having to offer guests internet access from rooms and public areas, whilst retaining the security of their internal IT networks. This requirement is spreading to the corporate workplace as the trend for more flexible working continues to increase.
We believe that the combination of these skills make Claremont unique in the marketplace.
In 2006, Claremont Interior Solutions was created as a property company. The brand of ‘The Breeze’ was established which not only provides a home for the business but also 5500 sq ft of contemporary serviced office accommodation and a suite of meeting and hospitality spaces for rent. The success of this venture has lead us to consider additional locations to roll out during 2009.
During 2008, Claremont allowed the Management team of Showroom Interiors the opportunity to effect a management buy-out, this business has subsequently acquired Steelcase Solutions’ retail division, Nigel Boreham is, Managing Director. This business focus on the high impact retail environments, mainly in the Motor sector working with a number of prestigious brands such as BMW, Mercedes and Porsche.
