The search for new premises began online by exploring various listings. Moppi & Harja sought office and warehouse space on the ground floor, where moving heavy machinery would be easy. They also required parking for production vehicles and staff, which proved challenging to find. The company contacted various parties but encountered difficulties in receiving responses to their inquiries.
Niina Petäjävaara, Site Manager of Moppi & Harja, found an interesting commercial premises listing in Westend via Bureau Facilities and submitted an enquiry.
“I thought the space I inquired about would be too expensive for our budget, but I decided to submit a contact request anyway. Bureau’s agent took care of our matter, was genuinely interested and willing to assist in finding premises as well as negotiating and obtaining results for the office space we wanted to lease,” Petäjävaara recounts.
The search for premises was initially frustrating for the company, as enquiries often went unanswered or broker services were incomplete. However, with Bureau's assistance, a suitable unit was found on Westendintie. The property owner carried out surface renovations and alterations to wet areas to accommodate the company's laundry equipment. Moppi & Harja moved into the new premises at the beginning of January 2023.
"I will definitely use Bureau's service for future premises projects as well. Bureau's agent understood our space requirements and we were not left alone, but they truly wanted to help find the best possible premises," says Petäjävaara.
