Engagement
A clear sequence from first call to settling-in
Relocations and restructures succeed when owners, dates, and messages stay aligned. This page shows how we run that alignment with your facilities, HR, and business leads.
Five stages we use on most programmes
Timelines compress or stretch with headcount, but the order of work rarely does.
- Discovery call. We map sites, approximate headcount, immovable dates (lease end, fit-out handover, board announcement), and who already owns facilities versus people communication.
- Readiness workshop. A half-day or full-day session with facilities, HR, and operational leads to surface risks: blackout periods, dual-running floors, contractor access, and teams that cannot move together.
- Programme plan. A shared calendar of decision points, communication waves, packing cut-offs, and manager briefings. Owners are named; open questions are listed with due dates.
- Live support through packing and move weekend. We stay available for message updates, escalate blockers, and keep the staff narrative consistent when the physical schedule slips.
- Settling-in reviews. Pulse checks in weeks one and three capture seating, access, and rhythm issues while they are still cheap to fix—then we hand over a short close-out note.
What you bring; what we hold
You bring lease facts, draft floorplans, headcount by team, and any industrial or safety constraints. We hold the change calendar, briefing packs, and the discipline of updating staff when plans shift.
We do not run removals companies, negotiate leases, or design interiors. Those partners stay yours; we make sure their milestones appear in the people plan.
When to start
For moves above forty people, we prefer at least eight weeks before move day. Restructures benefit from engagement before announcement week, not after rumours fill the gap. Smaller readiness reviews can start on two weeks’ notice.
If your date is already fixed and close, we will say so plainly in the discovery call and propose a compressed scope rather than promising a full programme that cannot fit.
