When Harkess-Ord needed a highly creative multi-disciplined fit-out partner to make their concepts for Smith & Nephew’s Head Office & Research Centre become the ultimate visitor experience….we stepped up!
We offered a full design and build technical service to Harkess-Ord, using all of our skills, from booth design to corporate re-fits on both projects. We supported their Design Team on-site and in the studio, with concept development visuals, walkthroughs, construction materials, prototypes, AV samples and impact graphics for product display. On site we carried out detailed technical surveys and our Build Teams worked directly with Harkess-Ord’s Project Managers to strip-out and refit both centres.
The Smith & Nephew Research Centre was completed on time and to budget and became a model for how Smith & Nephew should re-brand. It features a totally redeveloped reception centre and product display zone, with a massive high impact architectural wall, bespoke reception counters, supergraphic display banners and an exhibition level product display zone.
The Smith & Nephew Head Office refit needed a very sensitive approach to all on-site activities, requiring minimum disruption in a critical client facing centre. We carefully staged all work outside normal working hours, refitting and re-branding the entire reception centre and three office floors with virtually no staff or visitor disruption over five weekends. Working to Harkess-Ord’s specific standards, we completely revitalised the Smith & Nephew Headquarters creating the ultimate staff and visitor brand experience.
