Shipping giant Hapag-Lloyd is relocating its Liverpool staff into a single city centre location. Around 60 staff are currently located across two sites-India Building and the Royal Liver building-are moving to a new home in the Grade II Listed Port of Liverpool Building. Hapag, one of the top five shipping companies in the world, has awarded the £300,000 contract for the design and fit-out to Warrington-based Claremont. The new office will include meeting rooms, an open-plan area for 60 people, new partitions, power, data and IT installations and a new breakout facility and communications room. The project will take eight weeks to complete.
Claremont will be working alongside the current landlord to ensure the new scheme remains in keeping with the building's ongoing refurbishment plans and the landmark's architectural features.
The firm has recently undertaken similar projects for Liverpool law firms Hill Dickinson and Silverbeck Rymer.
John Peacock, facilities manager for Hapag Lloyd, said: "We are very pleased to be working with Claremont on this project.
"We have worked with them on a smaller project in the past and were impressed with the result, so it made it easy for us to select them. We are looking forward to seeing the results."
Philip Westwood, associate director at Claremont, added: "Claremont is proud to be working with such a prestigious global company, as well as to be playing a vital role in the internal upgrade of one of Liverpool's most historic buildings."
Hapag-Lloyd has a mult-billion pound turnover and operates in more than 100 countries worldwide. As well as its operation in Liverpool city centre, the company's container ships also sail in and out of the Port of Liverpool.
