Be it big or small every company at some time or
another will need somebody to help with office
relocation. Hopefully you need to move office as
you might have expanded and your team size has
doubled or you need the extra space for a new
venture. Whatever the reason, office moves
require the man and van company / office movers
to be on point and totally professional. So when
you compare the man and van / professional movers
be sure to ask if they have experience in office
moves.
3
Choose the right place for you and your business
Stop and think, does this place I am looking at
tick all the boxes and also does it allow for
room for expansion. Office moves are no good if
the need to be done every time your business
expands, spending a little more now might mean
spending a lot less in the future. Is the
location right, look at transport links, motorway
routes and parking. Also take into account
potential customers and employees getting to your
new office. Moving your office to a remote
location might be good for you but not so great
for people coming to visit you.
4
Have a good plan
You or your office movers should have a clear
plan of action. The office movers should take
into account your office needs and if things need
to go offline organising it in a way in which
gets you online ASAP.
5
Set a budget
You need to know how much you can spend per month
on your new office. Moving office and paying the
office movers will be a large one off expense but
paying the rent, utilities, council tax and any
other office expenses that you need to pay
monthly. You need to be realistic in terms of you
affording the place don't plan for expansion but
have no back up money set aside if it doesn't go
well. Plan for at least 6-12 months of hardship
while you get the new idea off the ground.
6
Have good communication
Just like moving home, moving office can be
stressful for all involved including your
employees especially if it means a longer commute
to work. So try to involve them in the office
move as much as possible, ask for their input and
maybe get them to look into potential offices.
You may have missed a gem. But ultimately the
office move needs to be decided on what's best
for the business and what's best for you. You
will not be able to please everyone especially if
when the office moves it will add to their
working day but sometimes the employees need to
be shown the bigger picture. If the company earns
more money then it can reward its employees with
more money.

Choose the correct office movers
Make sure to have somebody in charge with a track
record in office moves. Don't just settle for the
first quote you get be sure to look at 2 or 3
different websites and get quotes from all of
these. You should get a good idea of what office
movers have more experience than others and also
what prices are reasonable and which ones are
inflated. They will need a good team around then
to ensure that the move goes without hiccup. They
will also need to liaise and coordinate with you
and your staff about the best way to carry out
certain tasks. You may want give somebody the job
of moving coordinator while the job is going on
then that way you have somebody in house that
knows the ins and outs of what's happening with
the office move.

Be confident and move on
Make sure you have all your old files have been
store in secure places and all date has been
backed up. Make sure you have the correct office
for your business needs, make sure it's on budget
and that the office movers are the right men for
the job.
