Too much office furniture still goes to waste

an-office-move-in-progress-parallax

Every year, 1.2 million desks and 1.8 million office chairs end up in UK landfill, when they could have been reused, refurbished or recycled.

Most organisations would prefer to do the right thing with their surplus assets. But they don’t always have the time, resources or supplier relationships to manage reuse properly alongside everything else a relocation or refurbishment demands.

When time is short and operational pressure is high, reuse loses out to disposal. Costs rise, ESG targets are harder to hit, and assets that could have been recovered are unnecessarily wasted.

Tell us about your project

A fully managed office move, planned around your business

IE Workplace Services delivers fully managed office moves for organisations across the UK and beyond. Every project is led by a dedicated project manager who oversees planning, sequencing and delivery from day one, helping ensure a smooth transition with minimal operational disruption.

  • From packing and furniture removal to installation and dressing at the new site, our teams manage the physical move with care and precision. All items are logged, tracked and placed to your floor plan.

  • We coordinate the decommissioning, secure transport and recommissioning of your IT infrastructure, working alongside your internal IT team and third-party providers to minimise downtime at every stage.

  • Moves are phased around your working patterns, including out-of-hours and weekend working where needed. Your staff are kept informed throughout, with clear communications coordinated by your IE project manager.

  • One project manager. One point of contact. We manage the relationship with your building management, FM teams, landlords and incoming contractors so you don’t have to.

  • An office move is often the ideal time to review what furniture and workplace assets are still needed. We help you identify what can be reused, refurbished or responsibly recycled, so you can reduce waste, avoid unnecessary disposal costs and meet your ESG targets

CASE STUDY

Complex university relocation delivered under strict site and timeline constraints

IE Workplace Services supported New York University’s London campus relocation, managing furniture delivery, IT coordination and workplace installation within a heritage building operating under strict access restrictions and programme deadlines.

Working with US-based stakeholders, IE coordinated phased delivery, technology integration and sustainable clearance of the previous site, helping reuse, refurbish or donate more than 1,300 furniture items.

The project was delivered on schedule, creating a flexible new learning environment while minimising disruption and supporting wider sustainability goals.

Office moves FAQs

  • The cost of an office move depends on the size of the move, the volume and type of IT infrastructure, the timeline, the number of sites involved and the level of project management required. We provide tailored quotations based on a full assessment of your requirements.
