“Expedite have helped us with our office relocations and facilities in London, Geneva, Amsterdam and New York. Their planning and management of the relocation of 850 staff and equipment from Tower Bridge to Canary Wharf was simply brilliant! One of the best organisations I have ever had the pleasure to work with.” -Tom Harney, Head of Corporate Real Estate
Project Overview
Due to lease expiry, MF Global undertook a property review which resulted in the selection of 4 floors in Churchill Place. Expedite were involved in assessing the building’s fitness for MFG’s intense trading environment as well as advising on the selection of a new off-site Data Centre. The role extended into the design and specification of all aspects of Facilities and Technology elements that needed to be integrated into the extensive fit-out programmes. Expedite project managed the migration of 850 staff and equipment from Tower Bridge over a 3 month period.
Unique Challenge and Opportunity
Expedite had to work closely with the heads of Procurement, IT and Corporate Real Estate in London, New York and Chicago as well as with the construction project teams in Canary Wharf, West Malling and Interxion. We had to ensure that all procedural, technical, legal and contractual issues were consistently detailed and communicated.
