Moving Forward: Inside Our Newly Renovated Sales Office
We’re extremely proud to share a look inside our newly renovated sales office – the perfect first impression of our factory here in Chester le Street. This transformation is more than aesthetic; it’s a functional redesign that supports collaboration, focus and inspiration.
Making Time for Yourself
After finishing one of our largest projects to date two weeks early, instead of taking a break and slowing down, we decided that it was time to refurbish our space. As everyone in the industry knows, you always put the customers before yourself and never have time to enhance your own working environment. It was time to get rid of the dated maple, segregated workspaces and replace them with a fresh, modern and open space aimed at team work.
Design Highlights:
- Colour Palette: A sophisticated mix of sage green, soft pink, and warm oak wood tones forms the base. Accents of matte black add depth and contrast throughout. We used a range of Egger products, including the grained ST40 range, throughout this redesign. We loved how they complemented each other and gave the space a fresh contemporary new look.
- Furniture: The space features a blend of open plan, spacious, dog bone shaped communal desks, a smaller nest for quieter working and ergonomic task chairs in pink and grey Camira fabrics. When designing this space, it was important for us to move away from the old fashioned, traditional idea of a desk with its straight and angular shape and create an area that gave the user more space and function whilst also supporting communication and teamwork.
- Biophilic Touches: Artificial foliage ceilings and potted tropical plants have been integrated to bring nature indoors and improve mood. We are seeing more and more about the benefits of having plants in the office, we knew we wanted to incorporate them.
- Lighting: The outdated, harsh fluorescent tube lights were replaced by LED lighting. The skylight effect within the foliage gives a natural feel while the rest of the office space is bright and fresh. Linked with the warming colour on the walls this will help create a more productive and comfortable work environment whilst also reducing energy consumption.
- Meeting Zones: Soundproof glass meeting rooms with the addition of our fish tank and digital screens support hybrid work and quiet collaboration. We wanted this area to feel both private and part of the sales office. We love to show clients and suppliers our factory and this seamless integration allows for a visual overview of the whole sales office.
Built for People and Productivity
As part of our continued investment in both our team and our facilities, this reconfiguration includes improved acoustics, better zoning and storage systems, and an intuitive layout that minimises disruption between teams. We’ve made space for focused work, impromptu meetings, and social moments—everything a modern team needs.
See for yourself
With our sales office now complete and staff are making themselves at home in their new work space, thoughts have moved to the next Ambic project – the production office. Do we stick with the same theme or show of our versatility? Keep your eyes peeled!
Come and see for yourself. Feel free to drop in and say ‘Hi’, we always welcome visitors for a nosey. Especially when we are proud of the work.
