A group of us is putting together a plan for constructing temporary modular office solutions for displaced businesses in Christchurch – the Canterbury Agricultural Park has been suggested as an ideal first location.
We are looking to provide a “temporary office park” providing basic serviced offices for staff – desks, chairs, power, phone and Internet connectivity – together with parking and sanitation.
See http://memia.com/blog/general/2011/christchurch-earthquake-business-recovery-temporary-office-solutions for more details of the concept. We are speaking to the authorities and hoping to get some government momentum behind this asap.
We are looking to start collecting requirements: if you are seeking temporary office space for your staff please fill in this form and we will contact you. Note: all information will be treated confidentially.
