Transforming Garmin's Hampshire headquarters

As a long-standing supplier to Garmin's UK operations, HMF was appointed to deliver a comprehensive office refurbishment at the company's headquarters in Liberty House, Totton, Hampshire.

Building on an established relationship that had previously seen HMF provide mezzanine flooring and racking solutions within the warehouse environment, Garmin trusted HMF to transform its first-floor office space into a modern, collaborative workplace.

The Challenge

Garmin wanted to modernise its office accommodation, with a particular focus on upgrading its HR department while creating new offices, meeting rooms and an enhanced boardroom environment. The objective was to create a workspace that reflected the high standards seen across Garmin's global offices, while providing employees with a more contemporary and productive working environment.

To help bring the vision to life, HMF developed detailed layout plans and produced walk-through visualisations, allowing key stakeholders to fully understand and refine the proposed design before work commenced.

The Solution

Working closely with the Garmin team through a series of planning meetings and site consultations, HMF developed a bespoke office design tailored to the company's requirements.

The refurbishment incorporated:

  • New office and meeting room layouts
  • A fully upgraded boardroom
  • Extensive glazed partitioning to maximise light and create an open, modern feel
  • Bespoke wall graphics throughout the workspace
  • New carpet flooring and luxury vinyl plank finishes
  • Contemporary office furniture and workspace solutions

By combining thoughtful space planning with high-quality finishes, HMF delivered a complete transformation of the office environment.

Managing the Project

The refurbishment was delivered under full CDM administration, with an HMF foreman on site throughout the programme. Working closely with both HMF-appointed contractors and Garmin's direct contractors, the team coordinated all aspects of health and safety, programme management and day-to-day site operations.

Maintaining a safe, clean and efficient working environment was a key priority throughout the project.

The Result

The completed refurbishment has provided Garmin's HR department and wider office teams with a significantly enhanced working environment that better reflects the company's global brand and workplace standards. The modernised facilities support collaboration, improve employee experience and bring the UK office in line with Garmin's wider international portfolio.

Delivered on time over a 12-week programme, the refurbishment demonstrates HMF's ability to provide complete workplace transformation projects, from initial space planning and design through to final installation and project management.
