“Absolutely brilliant!” 
Elm Workspace were asked to design and install an agile working space for people to work either in groups, alone or just sit and collaborate over a cup of tea. They came up with a few suggestions and recommendations of how we could use the space and get the most out of it for the users. What we ended up with is absolutely brilliant! From initial discussion to confirmation of design, selection of furniture and materials, the team could not be more helpful. Installation went very smoothly and the occupants are very happy indeed – Thank you

“Great to work with!”
Elm were great to work with. They came up with some really creative ideas for how we can maximise the use of our space with furniture, and were supportive (and patient) throughout the whole process. We would be very happy to work with Elm again.

Frequently asked questions about workplace consultancy
Workplace consultancy is the process of analysing how your people and space interact, then using that insight to design a workspace that supports productivity, wellbeing and business goals. Beyond choosing the right furniture, it’s all about making your office work better for everyone.
Ideally, as early as possible. A consultant can help plan your space strategically, maximising every inch to boost productivity and avoid costly mistakes.
It all starts with research – our free initial consultation allows us to get under the skin of your business and learn about your goals. Then, we’ll audit your space and find out how your team currently uses the office. From there, our expert office designers create a plan that aligns with your goals, whether that’s improving collaboration, supporting hybrid work or making better use of square footage.
For businesses, it can reduce wasted space, lower costs and increase employee performance. For employees, it creates environments that improve comfort, collaboration and wellbeing. Together, this leads to stronger culture, higher engagement and better talent retention.
With over 30 years’ experience, Elm Workspace combines design expertise with practical knowledge of how people work. We partner with trusted manufacturers, prioritise sustainability and deliver solutions tailored to your budget and culture. Our consultancy isn’t one-size-fits-all; it’s about creating a workplace that truly works for your business.
