RBC Dexia get on Trac
for City office re-fit
Major installation for VERCO Oblique workstations
The emergence of a major player in the world investor services market via
a joint initiative by Royal Bank of Canada and Dexia has boosted business
for workplace interiors specialist Trac Office with its most recent
installation of 200 VERCO Oblique workstations.
Established in January 2006, RBC Dexia Investor Services is a joint
venture equally owned by Royal Bank of Canada and Belgium's Dexia banking
group - the first of its kind in the institutional investor services
market.
The company works as a strategic partner with clients, using its global
reach and to enhance their operational efficiency, minimise risks and
enhance portfolio returns.
London-based Trac has been supplying RBC's 2000 employees in the UK for
the past 10 years.
"When the bank approached us to supervise a major refit and source
furniture for its offices in the City, it also made clear it sought
workstations representing current thinking and best practice that were
also fit to task," says Trac director David Thornton.
Trac recommended the new Oblique desking and storage programme from VERCO
as a solution. RBC Dexia project management team approved the choice on
the basis of range's looks (notably its break from curved profiles to a
more linear approach), functionality and price competitiveness.
Oblique also met as standard a specific need for full-length all-round
modesty panels.
Work to ground and first
floors at RBC Dexia Investor Services refurbished offices in Queen
Victoria Street London EC4 incorporate supply and installation of Oblique
workstations in walnut veneer and oak MFC to executive and administration
areas.
Crisp, straight contours, increased angularity and simplicity of shape
are featured prominently in the design of Oblique, reflecting a shift
away from the more organic profiles of recent years and cleaner,
uncomplicated lines have the added benefit of maximising space
utilisation.
The range is available in
wood veneer (Maple, Walnut or Cherry) with a stainless steel frame, and
in MFC finishes (White, Oak, Grey Walnut, Beech and Maple) with a simple
silver leg frame.
With height levellers as standard, the frames enable desks to be
configured seamlessly, end to end and back to back, keeping components to
a minimum whilst improving structural integrity. Table tops are 25mm
thick MFC with 3mm edging for durability.
Another critical feature of Oblique is the user option to build second
and third level screening and storage onto even the most basic desk.
A robust yet simple
solution provides privacy, storage and screening and brings the benefits
of a full system range of desking to the market at a realistic price
point with no loss of style or function.
Trac is supplying VERCO furniture to other RBC Dexia UK locations and has
a new showroom now opened at its Luna Building headquarters in London's
Bermondsey Wall West.
