The relaxation of lockdown restrictions is goods news for many businesses; even the hard-pressed leisure and hospitality sectors have cause for cautious optimism as they make tentative plans to start trading again.
Not so for the exhibition industry. With mass gatherings cancelled almost overnight, and the main exhibition venues such as London Excel and the NEC Birmingham re-purposed as Nightingale Hospitals the future of the exhibition industry is an uncertain one.
Foxton-based exhibition company, AMC Exhibitions, is proving how important it is to innovate during times of adversity as they diversify into the Garden Office market by launching AMC Garden Rooms.
“We have many years’ experience in the design and construction of timber exhibition stands, so it was a natural step to the move into design and build of timber garden rooms. The techniques are surprisingly similar so we already have the skillset” says Kate Martin, Director of AMC Garden Rooms.
Over the last two months many employers - previously sceptical about homeworking - have come to realise that it is not only beneficial for their employees’ work life balance, but could also offer the business real cost savings by reducing overheads. It looks like homeworking is here to stay, and AMC Garden Rooms is tapping into that market.
“What could be better, than commuting down to the end of the garden, and working in the peace and quiet of your own space?” says Kate Martin. “Our garden offices are designed to be used all year round, fully insulated and double-glazed and come with heating, power sockets and internet connectivity”.
