Fit-out specialist clinches contract following successful London project
Manchester’s Consensus Workspace has been appointed by an institutional client of Barings Real Estate to provide the interior office fit-out for Orega’s brand new flexible business centre in Glasgow.
The contract for the 14,000 sq ft three-storey space is the second appointment with Barings and Orega for Consensus, after the team successfully completed an office fit-out at 20 Old Bailey, London.
Ian Mayhew, managing director, real estate asset management at Barings, said: “Consensus completed the Orega serviced offices at 20 Old Bailey – also the site of Barings’ European HQ – on the part fifth floor to a really high standard, under budget and on time.
“We were delighted with their professional, can-do attitude and the quality of their work and look forward to seeing the completed office space in Glasgow.”
Andy Plastow, managing director at Consensus Workspace, said: “Orega offices are located throughout the UK and each one differs very slightly from the next, because of different building specs, demographic requirements and date of completion – but they all bear the hallmark of quality, with contemporary styling and functionality, and well thought out facilities.
“We were delighted to complete the Old Bailey centre and then be appointed on Glasgow, our second contract with Orega and Barings.”
Laura Walker, sales director, Orega, said: “This is our third Scotland office, which we aim to open at the end of September/early October, and, based on Consensus’s previous work, we are highly confident that these timeframes will be met.
“The whole interior is in keeping with the Orega brand and Consensus worked with that through the whole process, from pre-construction to design and full site management during the fit-out stages.”
The site is located in Glasgow’s key business district, close to Buchanan Street Subway Station, Central and Queen Street Railway Stations and the M8, and will feature all of Orega’s first class facilities including parking, managed reception, private and communal working areas, a business lounge, kitchenettes with free refreshments, meeting rooms and showers.
Consensus Workspace offers more than 25 years of expertise and specialises in retail and office interiors, with a second office in London working with architects, designers and building professionals all over the UK.
