Leading cyber security and networking distributor Infinigate has appointed Office Principles to design and deliver its new UK headquarters at Genesis Business Park in Woking, Surrey.

The upcoming 5,600 sq ft office refurbishment at Genesis Business Park will provide an engaging, flexible workspace to connect Infinigate’s high performance teams.

Initially, Office Principles were engaged to undertake a design consultation. After a fast turnaround, Infinigate had all the information they needed to make clear, informed and future proofed decisions about the new space (this included a site visit, surveys, financial forecasting, milestone programming, test fit layouts and CGI visualisation of the space).

Office Principles conducted in-depth workplace consultations across the business to inform a creative layout that captured the requirements for each department. Through large group workshops the office interior design team captured the current issues the teams had around team interaction, noise transfer and dedicated breakout spaces.

To accommodate these concerns the design developed the ground floor into a spacious hub for meetings, learning, socialising, and events and the first floor is a dedicated focus space for staff working with pockets of collaborative areas to encourage team interaction.

The design journey included each department in layout reviews, tactile product workshops, furniture tours and technical drawing reviews ensuring each team felt heard and had contributed towards the end product.

The project will reflect Infinigate’s new branding and company values, showcasing a fresh, dynamic organisation that is both people orientated and technically excellent. Sustainability is also a focus, with existing furniture to be reused alongside new energy-efficient lighting and external electric vehicle charging.

Works are set to commence shortly, with the environmentally progressive workspace upgrade to be turned around rapidly during Q1 2023.

As we experience tremendous growth across UK & EMEA, having the right work environment is crucial to maintain morale, connectivity between teams, and our competitive edge. Office Principles demonstrated a deep understanding of our goals for the space – flexibility, functionality and reflecting our distinct culture. We can’t wait to settle into the finished office and are very much looking forward to opening day!
