PROJECT OVERVIEW
Following a period of fast growth, Xpert took the opportunity to relocate to new premises in Mallusk – bringing their office and warehouse operations together under one roof for the first time.
The new facility has been designed as a modern, future-proof environment that reflects Xpert’s evolution as a brand.
Formerly known as Cottonmount, the company’s rebrand to Xpert aligns with this new chapter, positioning them to better serve an expanding client base and showcase their capabilities.
The upgraded workspace represents a significant improvement in the day-to-day experience for staff, offering a more cohesive, high-quality environment that enhances collaboration and wellbeing.
TALENT ATTRACTION AND RETENTION
The new Xpert workspace has been designed with people at its heart, creating an environment that helps attract and retain top talent as the business continues to grow.
The open-plan office encourages collaboration and communication across teams, while a dedicated focus pod provides a quiet zone for moments of concentration and privacy. Ergonomic task chairs, monitor arms, and on-desk power make it seamless for team members to sit down, plug in, and get to work comfortably.
A bright, contemporary staff breakout and kitchen area offer a welcoming space for downtime and social connection, helping to strengthen team culture and wellbeing.
ENHANCING THE CLIENT EXPERIENCE
A key element of the new Xpert headquarters is the creation of a space that not only supports staff but also elevates the experience for those who visit.
Central to this is a dedicated Brand Experience Centre, a multi-purpose space that serves both as a boardroom and a showcase area for Xpert’s product. This environment allows the team to present their range in a polished, hands-on way, reinforcing the quality and professionalism behind the brand.
Complementing this is a welcoming reception and client area, complete with tea point facilities, designed to create a positive first impression from the moment they arrive.
Together, these spaces strengthen client engagement and reflect the company’s forward-looking approach as they continue to build their reputation and reach.
BRAND IDENTITY
The new workplace has been carefully designed to embody Xpert’s refreshed identity and create a strong visual connection between their brand and the physical environment.
Branded elements are integrated throughout the space, from bold signage and graphic details to customised acoustic panels that add both personality and practical function.
The distinctive Xpert colour palette of black, grey, and orange runs consistently across finishes, furnishings, and feature details, creating a cohesive aesthetic that feels both professional and energetic.
Xpert’s new headquarters marks an exciting new chapter for the business. Working closely with their team, we delivered a modern, cohesive environment that brings their office and warehouse together under one roof.
The result is a space that enhances staff wellbeing, strengthens client engagement, and reflects Xpert’s evolved brand – a future-ready workplace that supports their continued growth and ambition.
