Niemi Services moved WithSecure’s headquarters to new premises

We moved WithSecure’s Helsinki headquarters in September 2024 to new premises at Wood City in Jätkäsaari. WithSecure is a European cybersecurity company that helps protect businesses and invests in strong partnerships with its customers and partners.

Furnishing and workstation installations

Even before the actual furnishing and moving project began, we had moved the Framery workspace and some other furniture that was no longer needed in the old office to the new office. Before all deliveries, we carefully protected the passageways.

The furnishing project began with new items supplied by Input Interior. New items included furniture for the meeting rooms, lobby and other common areas. In addition to the furniture, we installed some soundproof movable workspaces and mounting points for base stations on the ceiling and walls.

There were several options for workstation installations because of the varying sizes and combinations of the desks and monitors. We created model installations of the different combinations, which WithSecure approved, and then installed approximately 300 workstations accordingly.

About 200 workstations were moved from the previous office, and about 100 were new. The installation work was facilitated by a clear floor plan of the office, which marked all the workstations and their installation types by floor.

Items requiring special attention

The move also included safes and other items that required special attention. We moved them separately at an agreed time and in an agreed manner. A customer representative was always present during the secure move, even in our moving truck. We used lockable boxes and moving cabinets in the moving project.

Sale of used furniture

An online store was set up for the staff, where they could buy surplus usable furniture. We moved the furniture to a pickup location and delivered purchases directly to staff members who ordered home delivery.
The remaining intact furniture is for sale through our partner OffiStore’s channels. We collect the deliveries and hand them over to Offistore. The remaining furniture will be properly recycled into new materials or possibly donated.

Same team from start to finish

The project was carried out in close cooperation with WithSecure. All open issues and responsibilities were thoroughly reviewed in weekly Teams meetings, attended by our project manager Juhana Maijanen. Niemi had the same project manager and the same management team for both the furnishing and moving projects; one team handled the project from start to finish.
