The Brief

Family-owned Croxsons supply premium glass bottles and containers to the finest spirits, wine and soft drinks brands. Following a transition in the senior team there was an opportunity to reassess and reinvent their workplace to fit their strategic direction. The aim in purchasing the old post office in Sutton was to build an inspirational workplace to showcase their clients’ products, encourage flexible ways of working and amplify the Croxsons brand. The focal point would be a bar area where their clients could visualise their products in context. Blue Jelly’s bespoke approach alongside our expertise in premium fit out and furniture made us the design and build partner Croxsons needed to bring their dream to life.

 

What we did

Central to the main open-plan office is a modern, industrial bar with an eye-catching, reeded, aquamarine bar wall. Bespoke wooden shelves frame key client products and an archive bottle display peaks through the distressed, mirrored glass. A beautiful custom light box hangs above placing the Croxsons brand centre stage. This CAT A and CAT B design and build project included a complete demolition of the internal post office structure to make space for a new conference room, cellular offices, a sales suite, sample room, breakout kitchen area and new bathrooms. Creative Director, Scott Colman, carefully preserved the heritage of the site, revitalising details like the four metre high arched windows. Nods to it’s past use decorate the space including a post bike and a Victoria letterbox. A new statement front door welcomes all to the space whilst subtly, displaying the Croxsons brand for all to see in Sutton town centre.

The Results

This was truly a unique transformation, giving Croxsons a workspace to be proud of. It celebrates their brand, allows them to immerse their client’s products in a real bar, enables flexible working and fosters creativity and aspiration. The once near-derelict post office is now a purpose-built, engaging workspace for Croxsons to be proud of.

Project complete!

ARA Venn, a specialist investment management firm focused on European residential strategies, needed to create a new workplace that would sustain their growing business for the coming decade. They were looking for a solution that would maximise the floorplan of their 4,500 sq ft space in the heart of Soho, with an accelerated timeline. Key to the brief was developing a flexible space to support the team with a large breakout area for them to recharge.

Clerkenwell Design Week did not disappoint. Our design team took to the streets of Clerkenwell to catch up with our wonderful furniture, finishes and flooring suppliers. On top of this, they made the most of the experience by attending thought leadership seminars on demystifying sustainability, colour and behaviour, artificial intelligence in architecture and inclusive design.

Re-introducing Blue Jelly.

Our brand has been evolving and developing for 21 years. But, we knew our look needed to be refreshed. It needed to represent who we are as a business and to celebrate our ambition and passion for our future.

Our new logo is a visual representation of who we are. It’s classic yet bold. Timeless and elegant. Custom made and skillfully designed. It symbolises our two greatest assets coming together: Blue – our process and Jelly – our people. It’s designed with our core values in mind, it’s a powerful symbol of who we are.

Last week our team collected mince pies, Christmas puddings, selection boxes, crackers, boxes of chocolate and stuffing & gravy for @windsorfoodshare to give out this Christmas. Well done team Blue Jelly!

This is our recently completed project to build a 6,000 Sqft flagship office for a Marlow based, global audio and sound experience company.

The brief was to create a modern, flexible workplace for their team whilst providing unique, top-of-the-line customer experience spaces for product demonstrations. Our team created bespoke joinery solutions to enable interchangeable product placement to suit differing customer needs.

Introducing @energyaspects at @cargo.london, Canary Wharf. Ben Lark, Senior Designer has created a space that flows with curved ceiling lighting, biophilic design, clean lines, premium furniture and subtle, brand-led wall art. Working alongside the team at @coreprojectservices on this project was delightful, as always.

Congratulations to the Blue Jelly team for cycling 700km in 24 hours to raise vital funds for @oceanconservationtrust. The aim was to cycle the distance Eton to Epernay, 544km. We completed this distance by 6am and decided to push onward and see how far we could go. This year we aim to raise £20,000 for Ocean Conservation Trust.
