PORTFOLIO

Motorpoint, the successful national car dealership, chose Mardel to fit out their new sales area at Derby’s head office showroom. With the focus firmly on achieving a modern bright style to welcome customers, Mardel worked closely with Motorpoint to develop the right look. Fresh fabric colours complimented perfectly the light ash desks and Karndean flooring. With the choice of chrome finishing throughout and polycarbonate translucent screens to provide individual client privacy the whole area development provides a fresh and invigorating environment for both Motorpoint staff and visitors. In addition to the furniture supplied, Mardel also project managed the suspended ceiling, office partitioning and flooring requirements. This was followed by a series of time managed installations to replace all rear of house furniture with minimal disruption to staff.

EEF Barleythorpe Training & Conference Centre near Oakham have upgraded their restaurant facilities. A contemporary fresh look was required but with practical elements included such as different sized tables to allow a flexible approach to layouts. Mardel suggested a number of options, the final choice offering the required flexibility and occupancy level stipulated by the client. Table tops were chosen in hard wearing Formica complimented by café style steamed beech chairs with vinyl padded seats and backs.

David James Estate Agents of Nottingham have expanded with a new branch in the busy Beeston suburb of the city. Mardel were asked to provide a range of furniture that would meet precise performance requirements yet offer great visual appearance. Bespoke designed conference style desks were supplied to allow both staff and customers easy access to the monitor screen to view available properties. Fitted drawers were built into the desks to provide both general storage and to hide cpu’s and cables for a clean, tidy appearance. A walnut and silver trim finish was chosen. The waiting area seating from Edge Design’s Harmony range in a two tone colour scheme offers superb comfort and modern design.

Mansfield based clothing manufacturer Crystal Martin approached Mardel for a new furniture fit out in their ladies wear design section. A total of eighty staff required desks set out to a very specific layout. In addition, bespoke tables were designed where staff work with fabric and clothing ranges. Each table was designed to provide lockable storage, fabric roll storage and a clothing rail. There is a heavy demand for storage capacity in this area. Mardel fitted bespoke floor to ceiling storage wall with each unit individually specified with appropriate internal fittings. A contemporary walnut and white finish was chose.

Part of Hollygirt’s major summer refurbishment included refits for the Design & Technology and Music rooms. Mardel were asked to redesign these areas to make the most of available space. As the building is of Victorian design the rooms required precise planning and design to fit with modern educational requirements. The D & T room was designed with fitted worktops with island units to provide adequate work areas. Formica was chosen for long term durability. Unsightly recesses were made into fitted cupboards to optimise storage potential.
The music room was redesigned to provide workstations capable of accommodating both music and computer keyboards.

A complete refurbishment was required for Canterbury Cross’s main administration office.
Key design and planning elements included the provision of a designated work area for each administrator, maximum storage capacity and document collating areas. Work surface was optimised by precise fitting of furniture against available wall area with additional storage supplied by overhead wall mounted bookcases. Hawk Furniture’s robust, cost effective Giorgio range in Beech was chosen for a fresh contemporary look.
