Having to move offices can be a stressful and frustrating time but with a bit of a preparation in terms of having the right materials to hand, the whole process can run a lot more smoothly. Having enough of even the most basic of packaging and packing materials such as bubble wrap and cardboard boxes can help immensely.
Creating an inventory of your office items can help in the removal and make sure that all items are kept track of and nothing goes missing. Making sure cardboard boxes are clearly labelled with the items contained inside will help with the move and be absolutely essential when unpacking in your new offices. Moving offices can be a good time to assess the office equipment that you have and decide whether equipment needs updating or if you are storing items that are just no longer needed. It is a good time to have a clear out and throw away any old or out of date items, making sure that you do not clutter your new offices with unnecessary junk.

Make sure any large cardboard boxes are filled with lighter materials and use smaller cardboard boxes for heavier items and books etc. This will ensure that boxes can be lifted easily and moved without causing a health and safety issue. It goes without saying that any delicate items should be wrapped in a material such as bubble wrap to make sure that nothing is damaged in transit.

Packing is obviously not rocket science but moving on such a large scale requires plenty of preparation and strict organisation. Here at Storm Trading, we stock a range of packing items such as cardboard boxes, bubble wrap and full office removal packs, and everything that you will need to ensure a safe and efficient office move.
