Cash Processing Solutions

Following showroom tours to develop ideas and narrow down preferred product choices, a wide ranging furniture scheme was put together to deliver a new workspace that delivered the flowing open plan space required. Using different types of work setting to allow flexible working within the space and a more varied working day where the furniture used is matched to the task to be performed. The desking was planned in a non-linear way to create interest across the floor plate and a variety of different product types from 12 different manufacturers created breakout spaces, formal and informal meeting spaces, eating areas, teaming, touchdown and social spaces for CPS’ Basingstoke headquarters. A bold colour palette that defined space and acoustic products to reduce ambient noise in the open plan areas added to the creation of a first class office environment.

CPS appointed Mocha to advise on the selection and supply of a full furnishings fit-out for our new global head office. The brief was to deliver bright, clutter-free and varied working spaces on a constrained budget. Mocha exceeded our expectations throughout the process from initial showroom viewings, through selecting and combining pieces from a portfolio of suppliers, value-engineering the selections to meet our budget and project managing the delivery/installation. Quality of service from Mocha, including after-sales, has been exemplary; our new workspaces are much admired by staff and customers alike.

Bennett Griffin Solicitors & Notaries - Worthing

Our brief was to create a welcoming environment for this established legal practice in their move from their well-loved but traditional offices to a new open plan, professional and forward-thinking workspace.

The solution needed to encompass a mix of workstations, multiple breakout spaces, seating and storage facilities alongside a client meeting suite, reception area and café.

To meet their deadline of 5 weeks from implementation to installation we selected our manufacturers carefully and sourced products from nine different manufacturers to flexibly combine function and aesthetics whilst remaining on budget and deadline.

An on-trend colour palette gave the professional, modern look that they needed and to reduce overall cost we also suggested re-upholstering existing meeting seating rather than supplying new.

Our large installation team then allocated to install the entire scheme in a single day to give Bennett Griffin more time to connect IT and move in.

Mark at Mocha Furniture won the tender for the planning and installation of a complete set of new office furniture in our new offices at 1 Liverpool Gardens, Worthing. Throughout Mark liaised with the office designers to come up with an outstanding proposal which has now stood the test of time. I would highly recommend Mocha to any company looking to upgrade their office furniture.

Rushcliffe Borough Council – Nottingham

Rushcliffe Borough Council needed a smooth transition for their high profile move from an old building with multiple small offices to a brand new £15 million open plan space and the Rushcliffe Arena leisure facility.

They required a high quality, attractive space for staff and visitors and through the design, supply and installation of contemporary furniture we achieved this. We undertook showroom visits to assist in their furniture selection process and produced computer generated images for reviews, alongside setting up a sample workstation in their existing office to assist with internal presentations to new staff.

We accurately planned space to comply with exacting storage requirements and included open plan workstations with screen arms and above and below desk power, seating, breakout, meeting, reception and café areas in our designs.

The final solution included using thirteen different manufacturers for furniture and our extensive network of specialist suppliers to provide bespoke elements such as fabrics and glass storage tops in corporate colours.

Our project management experience and structured tried and tested approach to logistics ensured all the products arrived on site when required and with minimal fuss. Our flexible approach and the can-do attitude of our project manager, installation supervisor and fitting team ensured despite difficult site conditions installation was completed on time and within budget.

Mocha designed the scheme for our new offices. We moved from old mismatched offices dotted over several floors to a brand new open plan office on just one floor. We needed modern furniture to fit the new building. Mocha grasped our needs and our budget and designed an impressive scheme consisting of workbenches for traditional desk working, café and bistro furniture for our staff kitchen, soft furnishes for break out spaces and private discussions and new meeting room furniture for formal meeting rooms. We were so impressed with the scheme Mocha came up with for our office that we also asked them to design and supply complementary furniture for our reception and customer café too. From initial scoping, design, space planning, furniture selection, delivery and install, Mocha oversaw the whole process and made the experience hassle free, even down to ensuring the odd damaged item was replaced by the suppliers without any stress to us. We were also hosted on a trip to London to meet suppliers and to see and feel the furniture proposed for our scheme. Mocha’s USP is that they source from several suppliers to amalgamate the best mix and match solution to meet your needs and budget. Great eye for design, good understanding of managing budget limitations without compromise on quality and great customer service. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Mocha to other organisations.

BCS – London and Peterborough

Creating a workplace which supported a thriving, modern consultancy meant both connectivity and aesthetics were imperative. We undertook a comprehensive consultation with the client to establish their exact requirements to ensure the correct solutions could be implemented.

Our designs not only included open plan and cellular workstations, but sit-stand desking, seating and breakout areas, storage and meeting facilities and specialist areas with acoustic wall panelling to reduce noise.

Our extensive industry knowledge meant we sourced specialist joinery services to ensure that new power, data and AV modules could be integrated into their existing boardroom table so that it could be re-used alongside the new meeting tables that we installed.

We sourced and supplied a colour palette according to the company guidelines and using our extensive range of manufacturers we supplied matching products for both their London and Peterborough offices to ensure consistency.

This all came together beautifully and their new workspaces were complete with outstanding connectivity and a modern and vibrant look that suited their business.

Over the 18 months since we have moved into our 8 Old Jewry offices we continue to receive compliments from visitors and staff alike about how great they are. This could not have been achieved with you or your teams help. The effort you all put in has made a big difference to our organisation and for that I’ve always been grateful and I’m glad that you partnered with us.

Your help and attention to detail since my first request for help has always been first class and I believe the service you have supplied has directly helped me in my success here.

Retirement Advantage - Worthing

With a short deadline, Retirement Advantage required a re-fit of their offices in just four weeks. Our brief was to create a modern working environment to energise staff and help them to work in a more collaborative fashion using open plan desking.

We selected products with the client to make sure that they were more than happy with their potential re-design, and on their approval, we then sourced products using seven different manufacturers to ensure that we secured the right look and feel within their budget. Being able to use a range of manufacturers guarantees that we have the flexibility that we need to help our clients benefit from the best available solutions and prices.

The installation included open plan and cellular workstations with screen arms and above desk power, seating and breakout space, storage facilities and meeting rooms. Our experienced, skilled installation team were also able to install AV boxes into meeting tables without the need and cost of specialist carpenters and we also supplied everything to match their colour palette in line with their company guidelines.

Our installation team worked around the clock to maximise the move in time for the client and we successfully meet their four-week lead time with outstanding results.

Aquaterra – Worthing and Slough

Working with Aquaterra gave us the opportunity to source fun furniture which would create an enticing space for child and adults alike at this busy soft play centre.

We designed, supplied and installed furniture for the new café and children’s party room which included child sized tables and chairs and a relaxing, cool breakout space for parents.

Due to the layout of the centre our design needed to encompass funky furniture that both appealed to children but that was functional. The furniture needed to be lightweight and be both stacked and easily reconfigured in the party rooms to cater to different sized parties. We had to plan our layout to provide the required amount of covers in a limited space so that Aquaterra could maximise their party offerings.

Their budget was challenging but using knowledge of the market and competitive buying power we were able to source suitable quality furniture at low prices. We recommended junior versions of adult café chairs for use in the party rooms to give consistency, large comfy soft seating and coffee tables in cool contemporary finishes to provide a bright, sunny chill out zone for parents and a combination of bench seating and individual tables to give interest to space whilst providing high seating capacity.

We also managed to recycle their existing older style furniture to a new home in a local charity centre for adults with learning disabilities.

I had been searching for unique furniture for my community softplay facility in Worthing for some while when I finally managed to stumble across Mocha Furniture. From the moment I called Mocha they have gone out of their way to source me a design, supply and install some fantastic furniture at exceptionally competitive prices. Not only did they go out of their way to help me find the right products they also arranged for another charity in the area to take my old unwanted furniture away who made use of it in their community facility. Mocha is a great company with some great ethics and I will be going back to them time and time again as I can't fault their service.
