June 2010 Richaire – Catering for New Covent Garden. June has been another bumper month for orders at Richaire. The school refurbishment season has seen a number of old friends returning to Richaire, as well as many new customers. July and August are shaping up to be very busy months again this year. But it’s not just school work keeping Richaire busy, for example Sheringhams Catering Ltd., of New Covent Garden Market, are moving to larger units and have appointed Richaire to fit-out their new offices. Sheringham’s took advantage of space becoming available at extremely short notice and Richaire were able to produce a costed design within a few days. Having previously under taken work on a number of the market units, including Sheringhams old offices, Richaire are the ideal choice for market residents. Work is currently under way to revitalise the new offices with, new Invotek Monobloc partitions, Wood laminate flooring, new seating, fresh decorations, replacement ceiling tiles and modifications to the electrics and lighting. Despite a very demanding programme Richaire are on schedule to hand the completed offices over to Sheringham’s on time and to budget. May 2010 Richaire go back to school. Following last summers highly acclaimed refurbishment of the ground floor of the Pre-Prep block at CfTB's Oakfield Preparatory School in Dulwich, Richaire are delighted to announce that they have been re-appointed to refurbish the 1st and 2nd floors.

April 2010 Alexander Lloyd Recruit Richaire. When Crawley based, niche recruitment agency, Alexander Lloyd's lease was running out, they knew they wanted to remain in the same general location.

That is when they turned to Richaire. Our flexible workforce immediately started on the dilapidations, working with and around the Alexander Lloyd's staff. At the same time the design layout of the new office was undertaken and rapidly agreed. Richaire will be installing a new meeting room, interview rooms, kitchens, breakout area and server room, all to be constructed using the Invotek Monobloc partitioning system. Alexander Lloyd will be moving into their new premises over the weekend 12/13th June and Richaire will then be able to complete the dilapidation work to the old offices March 2010 The season kicks off early.
