The Covid-19 pandemic changed the working patterns for so many businesses and with them, the associated office requirements. For Biamp, a global leader in the provision of professional audio-visual solutions, this led to a relocation to Brighton given its proximity to both the capital and Gatwick, as well as being home to a rich source of local talent.
The ground, first- and second-floors of the four-storey building which they found on Middle Street in the city centre, were all vacant and provided Biamp with a blank canvas from which it could create a space that would not only welcome its 25-strong UK team, but also to its global customer base.
BRAC Contracts was commissioned to transform the blank canvas through a programme of Category-B fit-out work that included the installation of new air-conditioning, new toilet and kitchen facilities, two glass-fronted meeting areas, a bar area and an auditorium for customer demonstrations. An outside decking area, which has proved popular with the Biamp team, was also given a full refurbishment.

“We were introduced to BRAC Contracts through Flude, the property agent that we were working with. They were able to show us other recent projects of a similar nature in Brighton that the team had delivered which meant we got first-hand insight into the way they worked.
“However, it was when we met Tony Saxby, the project manager, and Adam Clark, BRAC’s MD, that we were really convinced that they were the team for us. I’m a stickler for the finer detail in projects of this kind and I felt confident that Tony and Adam both appreciated this. They’re both straightforward and possess a can-do attitude.”
“Brighton is quickly becoming our second home, and this is the third major fit-out project we’ve delivered in the city in recent months. When a client takes on a blank canvas, they entrust us to deliver on the vision that they have.”
“We had a tight programme for a technically challenging project and BRAC Contracts managed the project from start to finish meeting our deadlines and delivering an excellent end result. It was an enjoyable experience working with such professionals”.
