This quarterly publication will help to keep
you informed about new products and
services and aims to provide help and advice
to companies of all sizes that are either
relocating to new premises or looking to
improve their existing workspace.
Working environments have changed
considerably since Metric was launched 35
years ago and our business has changed too to
keep pace with the changing and increasing
requirements of our customers. The way
companies plan and use office space is
becoming increasingly important to their
success, not simply in terms of optimising the
floor area in their premises but also in terms

sourcing, supply and installation, all
underpinned by the high levels of customer
service that have been our hallmark for over
three decades.
When it comes to providing you with the quality
of services and products you need, no job is too
big or too small.
I hope you will enjoy reading this newsletter
and it will bring you fully up-to-date with the
range of office products and interiors solutions
we now provide.
We look forward to working with you again in
the near future.

Most new office products look great in the
sales brochure but what will they look like in
your office?
In the past, companies sometimes didn't find
out the answer to that question until the day
they moved in - and by then it was too late to
change anything because everything had been
bought and paid for!
Not any more!
Using the latest computer graphics technology
enables Metric to let you visual and change
your new working environment in real-time.
If you like the colour of your new desks but
think they'll look better with a different colour
carpet and chairs, you can see the effect
instantly.

Scott Maynard is responsible for autocad design at Metric. He explains: "Once we've completed a site visit and recorded all of the
measurements we require, we begin by
producing a two-dimensional outline plan that
shows the office layout and where furniture
and storage will be located. Our customer
then gets the opportunity to discuss
any changes they wish to make.
"The next step is to translate the
2D drawing into a 3D image that
really helps the customer visualise
what it will be like to work in the
new environment. We can also
show the office in natural daylight
or when it is dark outside to show
the effects of lighting."
And if you still want to see more,
Metric can now take customers
on a 'virtual walkthough' of their
new workspace.

positive step for most businesses and provides
the opportunity to greatly improve productivity,
efficiency and staff morale."

'Metric has always supplied our office
furniture and its service has been superb.
When they launched their interiors
service, we invited them to quote for our
branch refurbishment programme and we
found their costings to be very
competitive. So far they have completed
eight out of our 40 branches and they have
been superb again, highly responsive and
always met our deadlines. I am very happy
to recommend Metric. We look forward to
working with them again in the future.'

Growing companies want their business
locations to provide a great first impression
for customers and an enjoyable and
productive place for their staff to work.
Many businesses want to break away from the
traditional office or shop 'look'. They want to
create a distinctive and bespoke environment
that reflects the culture of their business and
sets them apart from their competitors.
This has led to an interiors revolution.
Shape and colour are two of the most obvious
changes in terms of seating, furniture, storage
and wallcoverings.
It's three years since Metric launched its own |
