Time Recruitment HQ

Here at Select Interiors, a trusted partner and one of the leading fit-out companies in Manchester, we were invited once again to bring their expertise in office interior design to life. This marks the seventh office we’ve delivered for Time Recruitment:a testament to an enduring relationship and their team’s trust in our ability to design and deliver high- performing commercial interiors.

Overview

Creating a headquarters that supports Time Recruitment’s evolving work culture meant designing a space that blends flexibility, functionality and brand personality. The brief required:

Executive offices, A formal boardroom, Private acoustic booths, Two collaborative workspaces, A breakout area and games zone

Our process started with a full interior design consultation and workplace strategy review. We took the time to understand how different departments operate, how teams collaborate and what environmental changes could increase productivity.

From this, our interior designers in Manchester developed detailed 2D plans and 3D visualisations that helped stakeholders visualise the design before work began.

By ensuring the design reflected Time Recruitment’s brand values and team needs, we guaranteed the new HQ not only functions smoothly day to day but also reflects a modern, people-first employer.

Scope of Works

The office refurbishment involved a full strip-out and reconfiguration of the interior. Our in-house team managed every stage of the commercial fit-out, including:

● Mechanical, electrical and HVAC installations
● Structured data and lighting systems
● Partitioning and crittall glazing
● Bespoke joinery for acoustic booths and work zones
● Decoration throughout with brand-aligned finishes
● LVT flooring and carpet tiles, with rug detail in the boardroom
● Branded signage and wayfinding
● Ergonomic desks, storage units and breakout furniture
● Steel box-section shelving and display dividers

Every feature was chosen for performance and visual impact. We used durable, commercial-grade materials suited to busy offices without compromising on style or warmth.

Interior Design

From the outset, our office interior design contractors approached this project with a focus on agile working. The office was zoned to enable both quiet, focused work and open collaboration.

Acoustic booths provide soundproofed spaces for private calls or solo work, while open-plan collaboration areas encourage team discussions and informal meetings. The games and breakout zones promote employee wellbeing and support Time Recruitment’s culture of energy and ambition.

The bespoke interior design also reflected the client’s branding, incorporating colours, finishes and signage aligned with their visual identity. This was key to reinforcing a sense of belonging and professionalism across the space.

The Fit-Out

Delivered in central Manchester, this commercial office fit-out was managed end-to-end by Select Interiors’ in-house team. From technical services like HVAC and data to aesthetic finishes, we coordinated every trade to ensure smooth delivery and minimal disruption.

All bespoke joinery was crafted at our Manchester workshop, allowing us to maintain quality control and speedy results. Our hands-on approach meant directors could visit and approve finishes and fittings before final installation.

As experienced office interior design contractors, we understand that a fit-out is more than just furniture and flooring: it’s about creating spaces that work. That’s exactly what we delivered.

Outcome

Time Recruitment now operates from a vibrant, functional headquarters that supports the way they work today, and tomorrow. The mix of formal and informal areas gives teams the autonomy to choose how they work best. The integration of branding throughout the space makes the office feel unmistakably theirs.

For Select Interiors, it’s another successful collaboration with a long-standing client. For Time Recruitment, it’s a headquarters designed to grow with them.
