Fileworks
Fileworks was a specialist business dedicated to helping organisations optimise their document management and storage. Established with a meticulous and detail-oriented approach, Fileworks quickly gained a strong reputation for its expertise in conducting comprehensive filing audits. These audits provided businesses with a clear understanding of their current storage situation, identifying inefficiencies, risks, and opportunities for significant improvement. The core service of Fileworks revolved around analysing existing filing systems, whether physical or digital, and developing tailored strategies for streamlining processes, reducing unnecessary storage, and ensuring compliance. Their consultants worked closely with clients to understand their specific needs and challenges, providing practical recommendations and implementing solutions that often resulted in substantial cost savings and improved workspace utilisation. While Babel Projects now offers a broader range of services encompassing both people and workspace, the legacy of Fileworks remains a crucial part of our foundation. The deep understanding of organisation, efficiency, and meticulous project management honed through Fileworks continues to inform our approach to all client engagements, ensuring a strong focus on practical, results-driven solutions, particularly within our Workplace Consultancy & Move Management services
