Interaction’s 25th Year:
A Platform for the Future
N
ot many workplace design and build companies have 25
years’ worth of experience, and even fewer can boast a
team of talented people that all share the motivation to deliver
great results. It is this combination of experience, people and
passion that has got the business to where it is today.
There is no growth without stability
25 years in the industry brings a host of valuable knowledge and
experience. Practice certainly makes perfect – and Interaction
have perfected every step of the journey, from building amazing
relationships with clients to delivering snag free projects.
Investing in the right people has also furthered the company’s
stability; each and every member of the team stands out in
terms of energy, creativity and hard work. Individuals grow in
tandem with the company, which creates a shared ethos, as well
as embodied knowledge and experience that is maintained
within the business.
Thanks to the combination of perfected processes and an
evolving team, Interaction’s 25th year marks the merging of
continued success with optimism for the future.
Choice and the route to success
A stable basis and continued success facilitate choice. This
provides the ability to employ the highest calibre of people and
to work on a varied array of projects; two factors that will help
the business to grow further. In the past year alone, the team
has significantly grown and delivered some amazing projects as
well as delivering them snag free, something Interaction is very
passionate about. One of which includes The Castle project for
money.co.uk, which won Office Refurbishment of the Year at
Insider’s 2017 Property Awards.
It all comes back to the people
Growth, stability and success would not be possible without the
relationships that lie at the heart of Interaction. This includes
the affinity between colleagues, suppliers, sub-contractors and
clients, which helps to facilitate the delivery of consistently
good work – and therefore delighted clients!
As a people business, it’s inevitable that those who work hard
are rewarded. Aside from working on some extraordinary
projects or in the unique Bath studio, there are frequent social
events. In March the office was transformed into an exclusive
underground jazz club to celebrate the company’s 25th birthday,
and this year’s AGM took the team 412 miles north to a Scottish
castle.
Looking towards the future
With the 25th year marking a point of significant change for
the team, there is a sense of new-found confidence to do even
greater things. This will revolve around more choices; to choose
even more talent to join the company and to extend the reach
of work with larger projects in new and further afield locations.
Founder Paul Haskins summarises how “the experience and hard
work of the past quarter century have truly been amalgamated
in our 25th year, which now acts as a stable springboard for
further growth and success”.
Now really is the time to get excited about the future direction
of the business and workplace design, and for the many
possibilities that lie ahead…
