This was out first trip to new office. Due to the necessity to get the office removal done over the weekend we worked till 11.30pm.

Sunday – Start at 10am with 6 men and 1 Luton van.
This was the office removal deadline date and we continued to move the last minor items from the old address, installing all units and equipment and furniture as per requested. Finally we cleaned the new office and then moved specific furniture items to our 24 hour London storage.
By 6pm we were done. The office was ready for their occupants to “plug n’ play” all of their IT and computer equipment. We returned the extra keys to the Manager.
