Project Overview
TrustMark, the UK’s government-endorsed quality scheme for home improvement, required a modern, professional workspace that would support staff productivity, collaboration, and confidential work. Their new office at Grosvenor House, Basingstoke, offered an opportunity to combine Arena Business Centres’ flagship business environment with a high-performance, fully furnished office fit-out.
Our brief was to deliver a turnkey office solution that would:
-
Provide acoustic comfort across a busy open-plan office
-
Offer private spaces for confidential meetings and calls
-
Create modern, flexible meeting rooms for hybrid collaboration
-
Reflect TrustMark’s brand and professional image
-
Optimise the floor layout for operational efficiency and growth potential
Key Challenges
Acoustic Control in Open Plan: The open-plan floor needed noise reduction without compromising natural light or sightlines.
Privacy for Sensitive Discussions: TrustMark required confidential meeting areas without the cost or disruption of structural alterations.
Hybrid-Ready Meeting Rooms: Meeting spaces needed to support multi-department collaboration, client presentations, and video conferencing.
Scalable Layout: The office had to accommodate current staffing and future expansion while maintaining efficiency.
