What Claremont does

Claremont is a UK-based workplace consultancy and office design-and-build firm founded in 1976/1977, headquartered in Warrington with a second design studio in Bristol. The company provides an integrated service offering spanning workplace consultancy, design and build, office fit-outs, workplace furniture specification and procurement, workplace technology integration, and hybrid office design, primarily targeting enterprise and mid-market clients across professional services, finance, legal, housing, gaming, energy, and education sectors. Named enterprise clients include Flutter, FanDuel, PokerStars, Shoosmiths, Yorkshire Building Society, Mills & Reeve, Grant Thornton, Marsh McLennan, Arcadis, Admiral, BNP Paribas, St James's Place, abrdn, Diageo, AQA, Manchester Metropolitan University, and Bromford Housing.

The firm's core intellectual property comprises proprietary tools and methodologies: DIBE360 (a workplace Diversity, Inclusion, Belonging and Equity audit tool described as first-of-its-kind), the EMCIC bespoke change management framework, the FutureFlexible design approach, and the Destination Office strategic concept. Delivery follows RIBA-staged processes (Strategic Definition through Handover) with the consultancy team led by an in-house Workplace Psychologist. Underlying technology is primarily traditional workplace analytics, survey-based employee engagement instruments, and supplier-independent furniture procurement rather than software platforms or AI-driven analytics.

Claremont operates a project-based professional services revenue model with fixed-cost design-and-build pricing and quote-based engagements, distributing services through direct UK enterprise field sales and consultation-led acquisition, supported by content marketing via case studies, whitepapers, and video walkthroughs. The company is employee-owned (member of the Employee Ownership Association), Living Wage accredited, and privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, parent entity, or subsidiaries. Geographic footprint is UK-domestic. Customer-reported outcomes include 25% staff attrition reduction, 35% productivity increase, and 87-118% gains in collaboration metrics, with over 70% of revenue derived from repeat clients.

Core offering

Claremont provides end-to-end UK workplace transformation services spanning workplace consultancy (strategy, space utilisation, change management, inclusion auditing via DIBE360), design and build (RIBA-staged office interior construction with fixed costs), office fit-outs, workplace furniture specification and procurement, workplace technology integration (AV, digital signage, meeting room systems), and hybrid office design. Projects are delivered under their FutureFlexible methodology and Destination Office concept, handling concept to handover including suppliers, contractors, logistics, fitters and engineers.

Product overview

Claremont is a UK-based workplace consultancy, design, and build company with 48 years of experience creating office spaces.

The core offering comprises six interconnected service lines: Workplace Consultancy (using proprietary tools including DIBE360 and the EMCIC Change Management Model), Design and Build, Office Fit-Outs, Workplace Furniture, Workplace Technology, and Hybrid Office Design. These services are unified under the company's strategic concepts of 'The Destination Office' and 'FutureFlexible' methodology, which guide all projects toward creating workspaces that transform how people think, feel, and act. Claremont also provides supporting digital tools including an Office Space Calculator and publishes annual insight reports such as 'The Destination Office' whitepaper and 'The Beat' insight report.
