THE CLIENT & BRIEF
Client: Penningtons Manches Cooper / a top 50 UK law firm
Project: Matching festive styling across all seven UK offices
Locations: London, Basingstoke, Birmingham, Cambridge, Guildford, Oxford and Reading
Volume: 7 bespoke box trees, one for each office
Sizes: From 6ft reception centrepieces to 12ft atrium installations
Service: Multi-site planning, colour matching to the interiors, a staggered 48-hour installation and takedown after Christmas
The challenge: seven offices, seven spaces, one look
The firm wanted a premium, sophisticated alternative to traditional Christmas trees that would give every office the same look, from its London head office to Basingstoke, Birmingham, Cambridge, Guildford, Oxford and Reading.
The challenges were practical:
Every space was different. Each tree had to suit its setting, from compact 6ft trees beside reception desks to 12ft installations in open-plan atriums.
A wide area and a tight window. Transport, scheduling and on-site builds for seven separate installations had to happen within 48 hours, without disrupting a working law firm.
Our solution: one design, seven sizes, a planned rollout
We planned the whole rollout so the firm's HR and operations teams had nothing to do.
A design to suit a law firm. We created a warm, traditional scheme that sat comfortably in the firm's professional interiors: burgundy, forest green, kraft gold and cream papers, natural hessian ribbon, gold berry sprigs and a gold glitter star on every tree.
Trees scaled to each space. We planned seven box configurations and prepared the exact number and sizes of boxes to reach 6ft, 8ft, 10ft, and 12ft.
A 48-hour multi-site installation. Our mobile teams covered every office within 48 hours, built each tree quietly during the day, and left every reception spotless.
The results
7 bespoke box trees built, secured and finished to the same standard
6ft to 12ft: every tree sized for its space
Zero hours of office managers' time spent on decorations
Full takedown: we returned after New Year to dismantle and remove every tree
