Background
Julian Housing is a registered charity, part of Oxford Homeless Pathways, which provides 'move-on' housing for people who have been previously homeless. With their support staff and the housing management team working in an inappropriate working space, the charity secured new premises that required altering to suit their particular needs.
Pleased with their efficient way of approaching the special requirements of the specification and their ability to handle the whole job in-house, Julian Housing selected Newbury Interiors through a competitive tendering process.
Scope of Works

Critical Issues
In addition to providing confidential office space to support vulnerable people, Julian Housing's new offices needed to be light, airy and secure for support staff but also to provide a safe interview space. Furthermore, as a registered charity, finding a cost-effective solution was a high consideration. Newbury Interiors' detailed quote showed what they could afford, from the outset - with no hidden extras.
What the client said
Lesley Dewhurst, Chief Executive, Oxford Homeless Pathways said:
"We didn't want a lot of sub-contractors and chose Newbury Interiors because they could carry out the whole job and their practical way of approaching our requirements. The standard of partitioning and blinds all look very professional. The work started promptly and was completed on time - plus the new office looks great."
