Workhouse Rock

The Harmsen Group's Bristol based team works from a beautiful old listed building that used to be a workhouse - though the ethos is somewhat different now. This clever conversion (winner of the British Council for Offices Award 2005) marries solid Victorian construction with a soaring contemporary interior, resulting in a workspace of superbly realised design and practical workability (you can see it for yourself in the Case Studies section).

Ethos

Humanity is the watchword here: everything The Harmsen Group does is governed by people: who they are, how they operate, and what they think. We bring focus, passion and commitment to every job we do, great or small, and we never give less than 100% in terms of top quality service and personal attention. We believe this makes us stand out from our competitors, and we're very proud of our client relationships and achievements.

Techniques

We use tried and tested strategies to enable employees to excel, increase productivity, and achieve success for the business. The psychologies of managing, working, interacting and communicating are analysed to create intelligently designed spaces that benefit all. A more organic approach, you could say. But without the slugs.
