Challenge
Vail Williams was appointed by global sports marketing agency, rEvolution, to support the company in relocating from old offices in Henley to new prime offices in Reading town centre, as well as sourcing new serviced office space in central London.
Our agents undertook a search for premises to meet the requirements of the Chicago-based business, ensuring that their new offices met with brand expectations whilst ensuring prime quality of space and ease of access for its people and clients to and from London.
How we helped
- Worked with Chicago-headquartered COO to understand their property requirements for a relocation to Reading town centre.
- Undertook market search and presented client with office recommendations to meet their needs.
- Apex boasted the style and feel that the client wanted with exposed services and industrial feel, excellent transport and accessibility, community feel and building amenities including atrium, café and yoga studio.
- Worked with the client and landlord to negotiate the terms of the deal, including a bespoke fit-out to meet the quality of the brand and their own client expectations.
Negotiating your business’ property needs from the opposite side of the globe can be challenging, but Vail Williams really did deliver. They took time to understand our brand and presented the best-in-class options to meet our needs. Their negotiations with the landlord on fit-out ensured a high-quality working environment akin to what we have global headquarters in Chicago, as well as our new space in Singapore. Key to the success of these deals was the excellent communication they fostered with us, despite the challenging time difference.”
