DESIGN & INTERIORS
A NEW EU HQ Broadstock, a Cheshire-based contract furnishers, has won a
prestigious contract with the global conglomerate Tata Technologies, worth approximately £740,000; Jon Stoney, Group Sales Director for the company, explains that the win comes at a significant time.
The win was secured following a competitive tender process, the firm will design the interior space for the tech giant’s new European headquarters, which are based in Leamington Spa.
Broadstock was established more than 35 years ago, and has rightly earned its reputation in the industry as a highly credible and trusted partner, for both direct customers and for the A&D community, as well as specifiers and other suppliers. In 2014 the firm was acquired by the Southerns Group, and is backed by its financial heft and stature within the FF&E industry.
Winning this work with Tata Technologies is particularly significant as it marks the first new contract achieved since the establishment of our Commercial Interiors Division in January. As the company has grown, we have recognised the benefits of developing teams of sector specialists as a means to sell and win business effectively. As a business, we do not offer a one- size-fits-all solution to our clients, so it is only right that we pitch for new business using deliberately selected teams of experts. This new contract is testament to our unique and innovative approach and will, hopefully, be the first of many successes in the commercial sector.

We were invited to tender on the back of our good relationship with the architect. Once we had presented our ideas and specification, we were selected to be on the shortlist for interview. We talked through our submission and were eventually chosen for the contract.
“THE STATE-OF-THE-ART HEADQUARTERS WILL
CONTAIN OFFICES WITH BESPOKE DESKING,
BREAK-OUT AREAS, AND MEETING ROOMS.”
Working closely with the well- respected interior designer, Thuja, Broadstock will develop its designs for Tata Technologies' internal space, which runs across four floors. The corporation's state-of-the-art headquarters will contain offices with bespoke desking, carefully considered break-out areas, a variety of meeting rooms specifically designed to fit the needs of both small and large groups, and numerous other work spaces. In line with the need for cleverly connected working environments, the winning scheme also incorporates a café and social space for employees to enjoy. The first wave of installation is set to be in April of this year.
Lee Woodall, Broadstock Project Manager, explains that the firm will provide end-to-end project management for Tata Technologies, drawing on the skills of both its in- house design studio, and its in-house manufacturing facility:
"Our clients particularly appreciate the intelligent way we combine these offerings to best effect and it allows us to be creative in our solutions for what can, at times, be a difficult brief," he explained.
"Our services include the leveraging of our relationships with our supply chain to our clients' benefit, as well as being able to control effectively, the delivery and installation through our installation team, and wholly-owned delivery fleet. Our unique supply chain allows us to source products both from our in-house manufacturing operation and a huge range of external providers. This allows us to value-engineer our projects in order to hit client budgets without compromising on quality or ingenuity. When we say we can provide an end-to-end service, it's true."
Broadstock is headquartered in Macclesfield, Cheshire, where it has operational and client-facing facilities, and has a metalwork division in Middleton, Manchester.
