EDITOR’S VOICE
Happy new year and welcome to our first issue of 2019, As we head back to work after the festive break, many of us may be feeling the
January blues. However, things are set to get brighter as more and more emphasis is now being placed on designing functional workspaces that bring a sense of wellbeing into corporate environments. Our Makeover of the Month feature
exemplifies this, as modular flooring from Tarkett has transformed the Manchester headquarters of a digital marketing agency and helped to reflect its forward-thinking culture.
Our Safety Flooring feature proves it’s not only office spaces where aesthetics and the feel-good factor is important. We take a look at an Altro installation which has provided a dream kitchen for celebrity chef Richard Bainbridge creating the best possible working environment for his staff. And while the choice in safety flooring has in the past been limited, there are now a wealth options available says Paul Rogers of Amtico who gives his top tips to specifying with safety in mind.
And from work to school in our education section where we take a look at some
creative and contemporary installations which as well as being safe and durable also set the tone of modern-day learning.
If all this wasn’t enough, we also hear from Gradus on how they’re helping their local community to transform their green spaces and dispel some urban myths at the same time.
I hope you enjoy the issue!
