The Brief   
Having already recently completed works within the 3 Hardman Street Building for clients BDO Stoy Hayward, Claremont were in a good position to be able to advise existing client, Shoosmiths, who were already renting space within the same building.
The scheme was jointly designed by both Claremont‘s Warrington and Bristol teams, working closely alongside the client. The law firm wanted a strong local and regional theme, with Manchester-centric themed meeting rooms and manifestation of Manchester United footballers and Oasis. Claremont completed the space planning, design, fit-out, furniture provision and installation and AV package over the course of a seven week programme.

The Result
The works completed by Claremont included a new reception and client waiting area, meeting rooms, quiet rooms, post room, comms room, rolling storage and racking, dividing wall room systems, feature walls and manifestation, curved glass screen feature and staff breakout and canteen space.

Shoosmiths’ Firm-wide Facilities Manager, Carol Light, said:
“During my discussions with Allied London and Spinningfields Management Company, both organisations informed me they found that the fit out and the professionalism of the project and process management was the best they had seen in the building. [...] I wanted to pass on my sincere thanks to you plus their comments for a superb job.”
Following completion of the Manchester office, Claremont were also subsequently appointed to carry out works at Shoosmiths ‘Milton Keynes office.
