HBDS specialise in making change happen.
What we do
HBDS work with and support consultants, architects and organisations involved in the field of smart working to deliver and implement their strategies. We bridge the gap between theory and reality and make change happen.
With the increasing need for integration and collaboration, smart working implementation is emerging as a discipline in itself. HBDS have pioneered this discipline and can combine managing multifaceted projects with a strong understanding of the emerging new ways of working.
We have experience in health & safety, furniture, facilities management, organisational psychology, project management, procurement, office services, change management, IT and telecoms, relocation, refurbishment, training, human resources, logistics, design and space planning.
Who are we?
Led by industry experts Jamie Rothwell and Julia Kitchen, we are a team of experienced consultants and project managers with a team-based approach which we believe is very important. It ensures that employees and managers co-operate to achieve common business objectives.
Our team is results orientated with an excellent track record of transforming workplaces. We bring innovative thinking to projects with a practical sense of what can be achieved.
Jamie Rothwell
Jamie has been involved with commercial interiors and office furniture for his entire career, in a technical, project management and a sales function.
Jamie invented the Hotbox™ after working with many blue chip clients and listening to their needs for a more flexible and space efficient way of storing and transporting their employees personal work items. These clients recognised that the workplace needed to be more flexible, but felt that there were not the work tools available to them to make it so.
Julia Kitchen
Julia has a background in facilities management. She has worked with and for many blue chip international organisations.
She has developed a formidable reputation within the industry as an extremely knowledgeable, practical project manager and consultant on workplace change.
