Enhancing work space with interior landscaping for lens manufacturer’s brand new facility

When pioneering lens manufacturer Rayner recently moved to their new, state-of-the-art manufacturing plant in Worthing, Aureo was approached to provide a design proposal for the interior landscaping.

Interior landscaping solution lens manufacturer

A success story for British manufacturing, Rayner is the only manufacturer of intraocular lenses in the UK and has been recognised as one of the top ten British firms for achieving sustained growth and international turnover. The move heralds a new era in the company’s manufacturing capability where they currently serve over 70 countries worldwide.

Combining contemporary architecture with natural elements

To enhance the stunning modern architecture featured in the new building, interior landscaping was needed. Recognising that both air quality and employee satisfaction are greatly improved through the implementation of intelligent planting, the management team were keen to obtain the best possible outcome for its new facility and its people.

Tropical plants to create the right ambience

With an official opening deadline looming, the Aureo interior planting team were mobilised to offer support in the selection and supply of a range of tropical plants to enhance the modern offices.
A range of contemporary polished white Linea™ cabinet troughs planted with authenticate™ replica grasses for eye-level impact were chosen within the open plan offices. In addition a range of live specimen plants including Dracaena Deremensis Janet Craig & Dracaena Ulissesin polished white Cubique™ planters harmonised with the newly installed cabinets and office decor. Due to the short lead time, installation was organised outside of working hours before the official opening.

Transformation achieved

The results were a transformation to the working environment; the specification brought ambience, atmosphere and energy to the cutting-edge offices.
Lee Neal, Facilities Manager at Rayner was kind enough to let us know the company’s thoughts on the completed project:
“Feedback regarding the planting has been excellent – everyone is very happy with the look and layout so thank you for your team’s efforts.”

What people are saying about Aureo

Thank you for all the work you and your team do, ensuring our plants are cared for and providing suitable replacements when required.
The installation was really smooth, and we are pleased with the new machine. Thanks for your time with this.  I will make sure we are in touch when the review of coffee machines happens.
I have been dealing with Aureo for many years, always found them to be competitively priced and easy to deal with, the customer service is always excellent. I would have no hesitation in recommending Richard and his team.
Thank you for the biscuits, what a suprise. Its always a pleasure doing business with Aureo.
The feedback is very positive; the staff appreciate the new options available and the pleasant new machines.
I just wanted to thank you for your hard work and support over the last couple of weeks during my absence in arranging for the installation of our new vending machines.
All has gone smoothly. Thank you for making our machine switch over so easy.
The coffee machines are operating very well and are a joy to clean as the process is so much easier than the previous models
Just a quick thank you for our new machine, it is proving to be quite the success! Thank you to you and Gary for your help and efficient service
The service we have received so far has been second to none and the quality of the drinks and the machine itself is of a really high quality. I’m just sorry it took us so long to get around to making a change with the hot drinks we provide to staff!
We have had the coffee machine installed now for less than a week on a trial basis.  I don’t think there’s any way our staff will let us hand this back now!
What a transformation!  Real plants in our new offices have been very enthusiastically received by all our staff and visitors and have created a positive improvement to the overall atmosphere.  Thank you Aureo!
Our bottled water has been supplied by Aureo for several years now. Their staff are friendly, they provide an efficient service and fast delivery. On many occasions, we have received our delivery within hours of ordering.
The plant displays and your service levels are a distinct improvement to our old provider – my only regret is that we didn’t switch earlier.
Having used Aureo’s services for some time, I have found them to be professional, prompt and always reasonably priced. Their service is very good and the new Flavia Coffee machine we have installed is a big hit with our customers.
I’m so sorry, I have just realised that I didn’t say a huge thank you for the wonderful plants that you arranged so quickly for us. Everyone was really impressed, they do look great. Thank you!
Aureo provide an excellent service. They always deliver our order next day without exception. The staff are very friendly and helpful. They have a wide selection of products to choose from which we can offer our clients. Thank you.
I just wanted to say thank you for our plants – they arrived this morning and look really good. I have already had comments from staff and also our building manager who may be contacting you regarding changing her supplier!
We have been using Aureo to provide hot water for our staff refreshments for the past two years; we have found this method an excellent alternative to boiling kettles which tend to be uneconomic and time wasting.
I have just arrived back in the office to see our new plants, they look very nice :) very pleased!! Thank you
Just wanted to say over the past four years, the service we have received from Aureo has been second to none.  We would thoroughly recommend Aureo as a company with first class customer service. Many thanks
