Case study | East Anglian Air Ambulance, United Kingdom

Client Requirements: 

Adaptable Workspace: Create a flexible office environment that accommodates fluctuating on-site staff due to post-COVID hybrid working practices.

Client Requirements: 

East Anglian Air Ambulance (EAAA) is a vital charitable organisation providing advanced, 24/7 critical care for the region’s most seriously ill and injured individuals, delivering services by both air and road. The organisation operates out of bases in Norwich and Cambridge, with its main headquarters in Norwich.

Changing Workplace Requirements

The shift to flexible working arrangements following the COVID-19 pandemic presented new challenges in workspace design. EAAA needed to adjust its office environment to support a fluctuating number of on-site staff while enabling confidential conversations and private calls. This need was especially pronounced at the Norwich headquarters, where private spaces are crucial for maintaining sensitive discussions without occupying formal meeting rooms.

Addressing EAAA’s Needs 

EAAA installed two Soho Office Phone Booths and one Camden Two Meeting Pod. MEAVO’s office phone booths provided essential private spaces within the office, aligning with the charity’s requirements for a more adaptable and functional workspace.

Experience with MEAVO’s Office Phone Booths:

“The office phone booths have been in place for a number of months and are now viewed as a real asset to the office space.”

James Edwards, EAAA’s Estates Manager

The MEAVO phone booths have quickly become integral to EAAA’s workplace, offering much-needed spaces for private discussions and confidential calls, which were previously limited.

Benefits of MEAVO’s Soundproof Booths 

The MEAVO office booths immediately proved their value, freeing up larger meeting rooms by providing alternative spaces for private conversations. Key benefits include:

• Increased Flexibility: The booths support EAAA’s flexible working model.
• Enhanced Privacy: Employees now have reliable, soundproof spaces for confidential conversations and sensitive phone calls.
• Space Optimisation: With fewer meeting rooms being used for phone calls, these rooms are available for team meetings and collaborative work sessions.

Employee Feedback

EAAA’s team quickly embraced MEAVO’s office phone booths, viewing them as valuable additions to their workspace. The booths’ excellent soundproofing and customisable design aligns perfectly with the organisation’s needs for confidentiality in critical care operations.

Looking Ahead

With the rise of flexible working practices, EAAA anticipates that the demand for adaptable, private workspaces will continue to grow. MEAVO’s range of high-quality office phone booths and meeting pods offers a soundproof solution that suits organisations like EAAA, where confidentiality and efficient space utilisation are key.

MEAVO is proud to support EAAA in its mission to provide life-saving services and looks forward to assisting with further workspace enhancements as the organization’s needs evolve.
