THE GREEN OFFICE
Qubiqa’s electronic shelving chosen by leading law firm
R
eynolds Porter Chamberlain LLP is a leading City-based law firm employing over 450 people, more than 260 lawyers and some of the sharpest minds in the UK legal market. When RPC relocated to Tower Bridge House, taking 4 floors at this impressive, modernistic, glass building opposite the Tower of London, they chose Qubiqa’s SHADE E9000 Electronic storage systems which are installed on three floors at Tower Bridge House – the total capacity is nearly 2,000 linear metres of storage. The Records Team, headed by David Hipson, Records Manager, carefully manage and monitor all the storage. The items stored on Qubiqa’s mobile shelving are regularly reviewed and moved to off- site storage as necessary. The shelving is largely used for storing lever arch files and archive boxes, along with magazines, newspapers and books in a library area, implementing the use of angled display shelves and dividers.
RPC chose the NORDPLAN SHADE E9000 system because it best suited all their requirements. Saving floor space was
important and when they saw the many features and benefits of this ‘intelligent’ storage system, alongside the cost quoted and the option to add document management software, they were impressed. In particular, the ease of use, safety and the ability to lock down the system appealed. Appearance was also important – the high quality wraparound steel end panels (by Jacob Jensen Design) give an aesthetically pleasing and modern appearance which enhances the working environment and blends in well with their office décor.
David Hipson comments: “The system works very well and we are very happy with it. The installation was surprisingly quick and efficient. All our staff have open access to the mobile storage system and they find the system simple to use. In fact, it does ‘exactly what it says on the tin’ – sometimes simple things work the best and this system, although hi-tech, is simple to operate. The Qubiqa system certainly offered more options than the other systems we considered.” Mayur Patel, Facilities Director at RPC,
has this to add: “Our project involved looking for alternative filing systems for our new open plan offices. After researching/viewing several roller racking suppliers products, the SHADE E9000 system in my opinion was by far the best product. Qubiqa worked closely with me and my project team to ensure all of our requirements were met and selecting the electronic racking system would allow us to link the product to our RMS (Records Management System) in the future. The product is reliable, robust and very user friendly, so good that we are pleased to recommend it to anyone who is looking for such a product.” Qubiqa’s Electronic storage solution offers inherent future proofing as the systems can easily be reconfigured or relocated as needs evolve – the ultimate long term flexible and sustainable solution for your storage requirements.
