An office move is always a difficult time in a business life cycle. Whether you’re upgrading to accommodate more workers, or downsizing to address the popularity of hybrid/remote working, there are plenty of moving parts that need to be addressed.

Read on for Anchor Self Storage UK’s top tips for planning an office move to ensure it goes as smoothly as possible.

Put Someone In Charge Of The Move

Moving is quite a big task, so a designated person in charge can help oversee the whole project and ensure its success. If you have an office manager, this is a responsibility that can easily fit into their job specifications.

If you do not, try to ensure the person you pick is given time to fulfil the move to the best possible result, which could include making sure other work is delegated to other members of staff while they focus on the move.

Make A Detailed Plan

A detailed plan is an essential part of a move, including every task that needs to be completed, who needs to do that task and the timescale for completion. Things in your master plan could include:

• Move budgets
• Inventory of office items
• Details of moving company
• Seating plans and office arrangements
• Move-day schedules
• Admin tasks to be completed

Use Self-Storage To Assist You

Moves are big tasks, and you will often find you might need a bit of help in terms of storage when it comes to a move. Whether this is storing some office furniture bought for the new office before you have access to this space, or you are downsizing and need to store items somewhere, self-storage can help.

Many people rely on office storage facilities during a move, and as a place to securely store things at all times. This could be important files and paperwork you don’t want in the office but want to keep secure or furniture you might need in future but you have no room at the moment in your current space.
