WHAT’S NEW?
KI FURNITURE CREATES FLEXIBLE WORKSPACE
AT PARAMOUNT KI has helped film production giant Paramount Pictures create an agile, flexible new workspace at their new UK headquarters.
CLOUDFM WINS
QUEENSWAY CONTRACT Real estate investment specialists Queensway Group have appointed Cloudfm to manage all planned and reactive maintenance at their KFC restaurants.
Alongside their commercial and residential property, coffee house and hotel interests – with their estate numbering more than 100 assets across the UK in total – Queensway have been operating KFC restaurants under a franchise model since 2009. They currently serve over three million customers a year across their 20 KFC sites in the Birmingham, Liverpool and Manchester areas.
The new contract, worth around £5m over five years, will add to Cloudfm’s impressive portfolio of restaurant clients, which includes KFC’s own estate of 230 restaurants as well as Prezzo, Zizzi, ASK and PizzaExpress.
“We’re delighted to have won the contract with Queensway, and look forward to supporting their business objectives with our innovative approach to FM provision – centering on an optimal, intelligent interface between technology and human resource – and our commitment to delivering improved quality and value through our rigorous processes,” said Jeff Dewing, CEO of Cloudfm.
Drenched in natural light, the offices give staff and visitors views over the adjacent green space and lake, as well as sweeping views across London. Spread across two floors at Chiswick Park, the offices also accommodate the team of Paramount subsidiary, United International Pictures.
Working alongside office furniture supplier Rapid Office, Paramount Pictures selected KI’s UK-designed and manufactured workstations, tables, storage, workwalls and breakout screening, enhanced by a palette of 12 colours from Camira’s Lucia fabric range. The vibrant combination of blues, purples, greens and beige has been used to differentiate departments.
Mark Furmston, Facilities Manager at Paramount Pictures UK commented: “The nature of film releases creates an unusual, dynamic way of working at Paramount Pictures. This raises a number of interesting challenges for our workplace strategy - traditional space planning, power supply and furniture design had to be reassessed
“The Cloudfm philosophy has a great synergy with the sustainable, pragmatic approach we take to all aspects of our business,” said Karen Parr, Operations Director at Queensway. “We’re looking forward
in order to facilitate this hybrid of fixed and highly reconfigurable office landscapes. Working together with Rapid Office and KI, we were able to achieve our vision for a modern office, fit for purpose and on brand. In addition to looking great, the new offices enhance our team’s wellbeing, which is important for our employer branding, both now and into the future.”
Desks were specified in a combination of retrofittable fixed height and powered sit-stand versions, allowing Paramount to upgrade extra desks in situ, to full sit-stand capability over time. Some have been fitted with returns, and KI’s 800 Series mobile pedestals have been specified to provide personal storage in the agile environment. Executive office areas feature workwalls with overhead storage, 800 Series pedestals and cupboards, and Work2 Sit-Stand desks with modesty panels. Finished in dark walnut and white, these spaces are elegant and complement the views over nature outside the generous glazed exterior of the building.
