Resolving a Logistical Challenge
Having been acquired by one of our clients, ABSciex had to vacate their former parent company’s premises in Frankfurt, Paris, Rotterdam and Warrington within just six months, otherwise they would be liable for some increasing financial penalties. Vail Williams’ Corporate Real Estate team was given the task of finding alternative high quality space in each of these locations throughout Europe. To make the project even more challenging, the timing of the moves had to be sequential so that at least one core site remained operational at any one time.
We quickly identified the search criteria, drew up a long list, inspected these properties, narrowed it down to a short list and then inspected again with the client. Having established a top 2 or 3 for each location, we undertook desktop space planning and negotiated terms to find the most beneficial deal. Having agreed terms we managed the fit-out process for each property and managed the complicated timetabling for the moves to ensure the required continuity of business without incurring any financial penalties.
