Saracen secures 70% rate for repeat business with Murata Electronics fit-out

Saracen Interiors has completed a fit out and office move for Murata Electronics, a global electronics company, consolidating the workplace interiors consultant’s 70% rate for repeat business in the South East.

The fit out project, valued at approximately £230k, took just six weeks to complete and included space planning and design services, mechanical and electrical works, acoustic insulation, partitioning and doors, the build of a centre piece curved feature wall for the reception area and the installation of a new kitchen breakout area and furniture and fittings throughout.

Saracen worked closely with Murata to plan the new office layout, allowing for maximum use of space, improved comfort levels to promote staff wellbeing, increased use of natural light and a unique use of corporate branding.

Murata was also advised by Saracen regarding its relocation, with the office interiors expert overseeing the company’s office move.

Joint managing director of Saracen Interiors, Michael Page commented: “We have built a solid relationship with Murata that spans over 12 years and have been delighted to be able to help the team with all aspects of the company’s office move”

“Over the years, we have helped Murata with a varied mix of small works projects, from redecoration and office churn to refurbishment contracts. It’s been great to undertake a wider service offering for this client and we look forward to working with them again in the future.”

HR and GA manager for Murata Electronics, Peter Welford adds: “We never considered putting this project out to tender as we were totally confident that Saracen would complete the fit-out and move within our limited timescale, so there was only ever one name on the shortlist.

“Saracen is an outstanding, specialist company with a reliable team of experts. Each individual is fully committed and works hard to exceed expectations and to demonstrate the highest of standards.

“Our project manager was exceptional; overseeing all aspects of the job, ensuring the project went smoothly, providing key creative suggestions and making sure all of our needs were met. Saracen really does have a stand out team.”

Saracen is currently celebrating thirty years since its inception. Its recent clients include Ferox Capital, Creature of London and Aspect Property Group.
