Blog Summary
When a major London-based company needed to relocate its entire 7-storey headquarters, the task seemed monumental.
- Packing and securing items for safe transport
- Moving assets to the client’s own storage facility in Oxford
- Relocating key departments to two separate Central London offices
- Full IT setup and professional cable management at both new sites
For over 21 years, Easy Shipping has led the industry in office removals in London, helping companies of all sizes move forward with minimal disruption.
This is how we made their complex move a smooth success.
Understanding the Challenge: A 7-Storey Corporate Move
Office removals can be challenging even for a single floor.
But relocating an entire seven-floor building plus distributing operations between two new sites, requires expert planning and flawless execution.
The client’s key requirements were Full clearance of the existing HQ, including dismantling, packing and prepping
- Secure transport of items into their dedicated Oxford storage facility
- Seamless setup at two brand new offices in Central London
- Minimal downtime for their operational departments
- Professional IT handling and setup, ensuring teams could get back to work immediately
- Our Comprehensive Relocation Strategy
At Easy Shipping, we approach every major project with precision planning.
1. Thorough Pre-Move Planning and Coordination
Success starts with the right groundwork.
We began with a detailed site survey at all relevant locations:
- The client’s existing London HQ
- The Oxford storage facility
- Both new Central London offices
From there, our dedicated project manager worked closely with the client’s move team to design a phased move schedule, mapping out:
- Asset inventories and labelling systems
- Packing priorities by floor and department
- Timing for deliveries to Oxford and the two new London offices
- Special handling instructions for sensitive IT equipment
Pro Tip:
Early planning is crucial for avoiding unexpected delays during large-scale office removals.
2. Expert Packing and Safe Handling of Assets
With hundreds of workstations, furniture, and tech equipment involved, our award-winning packers did the job efficiently with ease and prepared it ready to be moved
Our professional movers:
- Disassembled office furniture, securely wrapped and labelled each item
- Protected fragile electronics using right materials
- Systematically labelled every box and asset, detailing destination locations
A key advantage? Our use of a colour-coded labelling system.
Each item was tagged according to its final destination (Oxford storage, Office 1, or Office 2), dramatically speeding up unloading and placement.
3. Transportation to Customer’s Storage Facility in Oxford
Unlike many projects where items are moved into our own Easy Shipping storage, this client had their own storage warehouse in Oxford.
Our team coordinated:
- Safe loading of selected assets onto our fleet
- Secure long-distance transport to Oxford (around 60 miles away)
- Careful placement and stacking inside the customer’s storage unit for easy future retrieval
Because the move was phased, some departments were stored temporarily while others were immediately reassembled at the new London offices.
4. Delivery and Setup at Two New London Offices
Meanwhile, our relocation teams managed the deliveries to the two new Central London offices.
At each site, we:
- Transported and reassembled furniture according to the new floor plans
- Unloaded and set up workstations for operational departments first
- Installed meeting rooms, breakout areas, and reception spaces
- Overall assessment – Confirming completion
Our scheduling flexibility was key: some departments required evening or weekend moves to avoid disruption to client business.
5. Full IT Setup and Professional Cable Management
One of the most critical parts of any office relocation is technology.
We ensured that over 100+ IT workstations were disconnected, transported, and reconnected professionally.
Tasks included:
- Setting up monitors, CPUs, keyboards, and peripherals
- Installing network cabling and structured cable management
- Assisting internal IT teams.
- Performing initial power-on tests to ensure everything worked perfectly

Lessons for Businesses Planning an Office Move
If you’re considering an office relocation, here are a few lessons from this project:
1. Start Planning Early
Begin at least 3–6 months in advance, especially for large or complex moves.
2. Trust Experienced Professionals
Office removals in London are highly specialised. Always work with experienced movers who understand the local logistics challenges.
3. Pay Attention to IT Infrastructure
Without careful IT management, your business could lose valuable hours — or days — post-move.
4. Label Everything Clearly
Colour-coded systems streamline delivery and unpacking, especially across multiple destinations.
5. Communicate Internally
Keep employees informed at every stage. Reducing uncertainty helps maintain morale.
