Maldon Salt

Maldon Salt, one of the UK’s most iconic and historic salt producers, embarked on the creation of a new head office to support its continued growth and modernisation. The objective was to deliver a workspace that balanced heritage with contemporary functionality—reflecting the brand’s premium positioning while meeting the practical needs of a dynamic workforce.

 

Frem Group was appointed as a partner to design, manufacture, and install the office furniture and interior fit-out across the new facility. The brief required a cohesive, high-quality solution across all operational and collaborative spaces, ensuring consistency in design, durability, and user experience.

 

Frem Group delivered a full turnkey furniture solution, spanning multiple environments within the building:

 

  • Office Workspace: Desking systems, ergonomic task seating, and integrated storage walls and lockers
  • Meeting & Collaboration Areas: Tables, seating, and flexible configurations
  • Executive & Boardroom Spaces: Bespoke boardroom table with Kastel seating, bespoke media wall and Signature desk
  • Reception Area: Bespoke front-of-house furniture including reception desk and soft seating
  • Breakout & Social Spaces: Informal seating, soft furnishings, and communal tables
  • Canteen & Tea Points: Durable dining furniture including tables and chairs
  • Changing Rooms: Lockers walls and functional storage systems
  • Acoustic Solutions: Meeting Pods and acoustic desk panels to enhance privacy and reduce noise
  • Storage Wall Systems: Efficient space utilisation throughout the building
  • Outdoor Furniture: Seating solutions for external relaxation and collaboration

 

A key advantage of Frem Group’s involvement was its in-house UK manufacturing capability. This allowed:

 

  • Precision Craftsmanship: Tailored furniture solutions built to exact specifications
  • Consistency Across Spaces: Seamless coordination of materials, finishes, and detailing
  • Quality Control: End-to-end oversight ensured every product met stringent standards
  • Customisation: Bespoke elements, particularly in reception, boardroom, and executive areas, added a unique identity to the space

 

Frem Group managed the full installation process, ensuring a smooth transition from factory to site:

 

  • Phased Installation: Coordinated to align with project timelines and minimise disruption
  • On-Site Expertise: Skilled teams ensured accurate installation and assembly
  • Attention to Detail: Every element—from workstation alignment to acoustic pod installation—was carefully executed

 

 

We felt that Frem aligned with our core values. Collaboration was very important to us and we wanted to work with someone who would understand our design narrative and our design story.
