It is so refreshing to see our workspace transformed from a tired and outdated environment into amodern, bright and refreshing space to work.” Clair Mooney, Events & Comms Manager “The attention to detail of the FIS Office refurbishment is amazing and brings the office into the 21st Century!” Marie Flinter, Skills and Training Advisor “We now work in a more vibrant, open and welcoming office which makes such a huge and noticeable difference to how we work and how we feel about our workspace. I look forward to hosting more meetings in the FIS HQ and showing off some of the excellent work done by our members.” Greg Greves, Membership Coordinator The old post roomwas transformed into this welcoming breakout area This stylish and efficient tea-point was once an old and cramped kitchen
