Claremont wins Police Mutual office project

Police Mutual, a financial advisor to police workers, has appointed Claremont Group Interiors to deliver the design and fit-out of its new 13,000 sq ft office in Liverpool, following a five-way competitive pitch.

Police Mutual is relocating from India Buildings into the fifth floor of 20 Chapel Street. The new office will provide accommodation for up to 114 staff. Police Mutual currently employs 80 staff.

The office will include a call centre, meeting rooms, a training and conference facility, reception space and a statement Police phone box.

Peter Marr, operations director of Police Mutual said: "This move is more than just a new environment; it's about supporting us as we move to a more collaborative and open style of working. Claremont had some great ideas about how to make every square foot count and the design really showcases our brand story and focus on customer service."

Tim Frankland, joint managing director of Claremont Group Interiors, said: "Many businesses talk about bringing their staff together in one space but for Police Mutual this really is integral to their service offering. Our design really embraces that and uses flexible breakout spaces to support more informal ways of working.

"We have quite a track record in Liverpool, having worked with some of the city's biggest brands and in some of the most high profile buildings. Police Mutual adds to that roster and gets 2014 off to a very positive start."

Claremont's Liverpool clients have included John West, Liverpool FC, Hapag Lloyd, Royal London and Weightmans.
