New office for Resolis in Edinburgh
Resolis, an Edinburgh based Asset Management company were moving out of serviced office space to their own office in Exchange Tower Edinburgh, for the first time and contacted Amos Beech to assist them with delivering an environment that reflected their brand and ethos.
From a serviced office to a dedicated space
Resolis focus, is on infrastructure assets connected to the provision of essential public services. In addition to their new office in the Exchange Tower in Edinburgh, many of their team members work location-independent across the United Kingdom in a true hybrid fashion.
Working with their Architect who led the design element, Amos Beech completed a drawings package and building warrant submission. We also helped them to gain Landlord Approval for the works and then, over a 4 week contract completed the fit-out and installed all the furniture.
Working in a multi-tenanted building meant that we had to be considerate contractors and ensured that our works were not detrimental to the other businesses in the building. Sound testament to this is the additional projects we have secured following completion of this contract.

State of the art kitchen and office facilities in Gateshead
“Inspiring the Food Industry”
And clearly, Dalziel Foods is doing that very well! Due to the ongoing success of their range of bespoke seasoning blends Dalziel Foods recognised they needed to further develop their facilities to keep up with demand and remain at the cutting edge of seasoning innovation & ingredient technology development.
Following a design evaluation process where the design innovation and honest approach of the team at Amos Beech was recognised by the team at Dalziel Foods, they chose to partner with us to help design and develop their new state of the art kitchen facilities in Gateshead.
Office and kitchen fit-out in gateshead
We were invited to prepare concept proposals for the refurbishment of Dalziel’s’ premises at Felling, Gateshead. Draft plans, prepared by their Architect, were given as a base to work with and to develop according to the brief.
With every new project our first steps are to research the client, and digest the brief, so we can prepare a design which truly reflects them and meets all their needs. We then research what similar companies have done.
The main part of the project was to design a Client Presentation Suite.
We developed the finishes to reflect the logo. We introduced copper having mistaken the logo wheat colour for this. Copper also reflects the catering industry – perhaps only to the lay person 😀?
Another finish that we discovered in our research was Carrera marble worktops and these have now been superseded by a marble effect ceramic as that has the durability properties that marble doesn’t. Also natural timber was introduced along with charcoal greys. These finishes formed the first palette for the interiors, furniture, and fittings.
Functionality was at the core of the interior design brief
Functionality was at the core of the interior design brief; with lots of staff using the busy kitchens all and every day, and with literally hundreds of different spices to store near at hand, storage too was high on the agenda. These requirements, blended with neat design, innovative materials resulted in two stunning kitchens being created for both their sample preparation and product development kitchen.
Watch this space as we continue this project upstairs where it gets even more exciting with new offices, a large sales presentation area and a state of the art display kitchen where Dalziel’s blue chip clients can come and be blown away by the culinary delights created by Dalziels innovative technologists and put together by their skilled team of chefs.

DN Dance: "Striving to be the best dance school in Edinburgh!"
DN Dance strives to be one of the top dance schools in Edinburgh. Well, based on the sheer joy that shines of the faces of their pupils, we think they’ve cracked it!
DN Dance provide dance lessons to students in Edinburgh and the surrounding area. As their reputation continues to grow, they needed a new location to reflect this along with the need for more space.
Amos Beech was approached initially to look at potential vacant units to see if there was a fit for their needs and once a location was identified as suitable, we then provided a detailed cost schedule for the project. This allowed DN Dance to secure their funding for the project and move forward.
A vibrant and welcoming space
Working with the DN Dance team, we designed a vibrant and welcoming space for young people that met a budget that was not excessive, given the market constraints brought on by the pandemic.
Amos Beech provided a full range of services including managing the Building Warrant application process for the client. This is a legal requirement and should be factored into the time line for any project.
Proof of how flexible the Amos Beech construction team is, is the installation of specialist sprung floors for the dance studios that we installed. So if you have something that you think is a little bit off the beaten track, get in touch with us because we probably have done something similar before!
