Moving Office? Here’s How to Keep It Simple, Steady and Stress-Free

There comes a point in every growing business when the current office just isn’t quite cutting it anymore. Maybe you’re adding new staff, maybe you’ve outgrown the kitchen-table setup, or maybe you’ve simply found somewhere brighter, bigger, or better placed.

Whatever the reason, moving office is a real milestone — exciting, busy, and occasionally a little chaotic. But with the right preparation, it doesn’t need to be stressful. In fact, it can be a fresh start that sets you up for the next chapter.

Here’s how to keep your move running smoothly.

Start with the essentials

It’s amazing how quickly an office can grind to a halt without internet or phone lines. Before you pack a single box, make sure you know what connectivity is available at the new address.

Checking broadband availability, installation lead times and any number-porting requirements early on will stop you falling into the “we moved in… but nothing works yet” trap.

Give yourself a clear timeline

Every office move works better with a plan. Create a simple checklist:

When does the current contract end?
When does the new service need to go live?
Who needs to be informed, and by when?

A steady timetable keeps things calm, avoids last-minute scrambles, and helps everyone know what’s happening and when.

Keep your comms consistent

Customers shouldn’t have to guess where you are. Update your website, email signatures, listings, and social media with your new address. And make sure your phone numbers continue working throughout the move — even if you’re between offices.

Hosted VoIP makes this easy, as your number comes with you wherever you go.

Let specialists take the load

Most businesses only move offices once in a blue moon. We handle the connectivity side of moves all the time — checking availability, advising on the right services, arranging installations, managing number porting, and keeping everything joined up along the way.

When someone else looks after your phones and broadband, you can focus on the people, equipment and logistics.

Enjoy the fresh start

A new office is a great chance to refresh old habits. Tidy up the cables, rethink your layout, get the Wi-Fi right first time, and make sure the space works for your team.

It’s not just a new address — it’s a new chapter.
