ISG InteriorExterior lifts London refurbishment scheme for Investec

ISG InteriorExterior has secured a £multi-million refurbishment project with specialist banking group, Investec, to enhance facilities at its London headquarters building on Gresham Street. In addition to carrying out improvements within the main reception areas, the contractor will install four new glass fronted scenic lifts within the nine-storey building.
The project involves major internal demolition works to remove the existing nine-storey lift shaft wall to accommodate the new fully glazed lift installations, and significant remodelling of the existing ground and first floor reception areas. With Investec remaining in full occupation of the building throughout the project, ISG InteriorExterior has adopted a highly flexible approach, carefully phasing the refurbishment programme and working out of hours to minimise any potential disruption to staff.
In addition to maximising the level of natural light entering the atrium through the lift enhancement work, the main reception area will be reconfigured and enlarged to create a double height entrance foyer, and a new coffee lounge area formed. High specification materials will be utilised throughout the upgrade works to create a modern and stylish ambience for visitors, with new stone finishes applied to the floor and walls. The phased project is due for final completion early in 2008.
Steve Trotter, Managing Director of ISG InteriorExterior commented: “As a business, we specialise in the successful delivery of complex and technically challenging refurbishment projects. Operating effectively within live environments demands exacting programme coordination and ISG InteriorExterior has built up a wealth of experience and expertise delivering high quality solutions for a comprehensive range of blue chip clients throughout the UK.”
