Many financial and legal firms across London are currently rethinking how much office space they need and how that space is used. With an increasing number of professional mergers, businesses are moving, consolidating or adapting their offices. In this blog, we look at the benefits of using our storage facility for your office move.
Why Businesses Need Storage During Office Consolidation
Whether you are a facilities manager, office manager, records team, archivist or an operations lead, consolidating an office can be challenging. You may have decades of archived documents and files, as well as desks, chairs, IT equipment, and other items.
By storing furniture, confidential documents and even wall art in a temporary storage facility like Stockroom London, you can ensure every asset is handled carefully. This practical solution gives you the flexibility to store your business assets until your people are in situ.
What to Store During an Office Move
If you are moving offices, the first step is to identify which items need to be stored and which items can go. Organise files suitable for archive storage. You might need to keep and retain access to business-critical documents with the flexibility to retrieve specific files as needed.
Office Furniture and Equipment
There can be a wide range of furniture involved in an office move. If you are merging with another firm, your new location may already be well equipped. However, if you are moving to new premises, then you might need to bring your existing desks, chairs and IT equipment.
At Stockroom London, our external storage facility can act as a holding bay while you move into a new office. By storing large furniture pieces such as a boardroom table, this provides ample room for refurbishments to be carried out before your company moves in.
Documents and Business Records
When professional services firms merge, this can involve a series of regulatory obligations. Legal practices must abide by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) handbook on client confidentiality and document retention. Financial firms need to adhere to the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) Handbook SUP 15 and Principle 11 (relations with regulators).
Stockroom London provides secure, dedicated storage zones, enabling full compliance for your documents. Our online inventory gives you the ability to find files and records easily.
Flexible Storage for Office Moves and Consolidation
Acting as an extension of your office, Stockroom London helps you keep documents, archives, furniture, and business assets accessible and organised. We also offer a flexible workspace to all our clients, giving your teams an additional area to sort stored items.
With 24/7 CCTV monitoring, our central Woolwich facility is only minutes from the Elizabeth Line, giving you convenient, appointment-based access to your items.
