Major Office Relocation and Large-Scale Fitout
Challenge
Support the relocation to a new London office with modern AV solutions replacing outdated and inadequate legacy systems.
Solution
Kinly provided a total AV upgrade, integrating Zoom-enabled meeting rooms, assistive listening technology and best-in-class video, audio and control systems.
Result
The new office offers immersive, simple-to-use and inclusive meeting experiences, with seamless Zoom compatibility and enhanced communication across 17 meeting rooms.
The background
Our longstanding client is a leading global investment firm. Over the past five-years, Kinly has worked closely with this customer, providing expert maintenance and support services for AV systems installed at its previous office.
The client approached the Kinly team with plans for a major office relocation, located across 45 rooms in the sixth and seventh floors of a new London premises, by the end of 2022. This was driven by the need to migrate from its previous office and meeting rooms which had become small and outdated. Its legacy AV hardware was also no longer fit-for-purpose in the modern working landscape. This was a high-profile move and AV upgrade project where failure was not an option. As a result, the client needed to partner with a trusted advisor who could demonstrate the ability to overcome challenges and mitigate risk to ensure a successful project delivery, on time and within budget.
The project first began on a consultancy basis with the client working in close conjunction with Kinly’s design consultation team through a series of design and development workshops. During the initial engagement, the client developed a great amount of confidence in Kinly and, owing to Kinly’s detailed and methodical approach, identified the requirement for additional equipment and meeting room spaces. Originally intending to tender the project, the client then decided to entrust the project directly to Kinly, saving a significant amount of time and resource.
“I wanted to express my gratitude as to the astounding amount of professionalism the Kinly team has shown me. The team have been some of the best vendors I have worked with on a project in the past ten years. No matter the question I had, someone always took the time to answer me and also explain the aspects of AV in a manner that I, a non-AV person, could fully understand.”

The solution
The client made it clear that their preference was to use Zoom for internal and external communication. However, users regularly connected to other calling platforms for externally-hosted meetings. These included Cisco Webex, Microsoft Teams, GoToMeeting etc. As a result, Kinly ensured that all meeting rooms were natively enabled for use in the Zoom environment with optional BYOD capability providing effective usage for all calling platforms.
