What’s the plan?
Moving office is an exciting yet daunting prospect. You need to plan and organise not only yourself, but your team and most importantly your time.
First thing’s first – define a timescale. When are you moving? What can be packed now and what can be packed nearer the big day? It’s important to discuss this with your team too, to let them know what’s happening so they can also plan what they need to do beforehand.

If you need a packing service then we can do that for you. Especially with important items like computers, you don’t want to get in a tangle! If you pack anything yourself then remember to mark your boxes correctly and arrange them with things you’ll need right away at the top and near the front.
Clear the clutter
Ask your employees to pack up all their personal items and help in any way they can. Any documents that aren’t needed can be shredded or stored in a secure facility to be accessed whenever you wish. Donate equipment that you no longer use, this can be to a charity or recycled in order to use the parts for other items.
Cover yourself
No matter how careful you are, anything can happen so it’s crucial to buy some insurance for the move. This will give you peace of mind and allow your relocation to go without any hassle.
Once you’re in your new place, set up all office equipment before your employees start back at work – that way your business can get straight to it after the move.
Don’t forget to let everyone know that you’ve moved and to update your contact information ASAP.
And finally….
The most important thing to remember is to never wait until the last minute and to stay organised. That way your move will go without hassle and you can get back to business right away!
