CONTRACT
Design & Build
Kilmal was appointed to deliver a full design and build programme for JMA’s new office in the heart of Manchester, creating a modern, functional and brand-led workspace that meets both aesthetic aspirations and operational demands.
The project involved extensive internal works, including the installation of high-spec stud partitions, bespoke birch ply feature walls, precision joinery and premium internal finishes. The design prioritised flexibility, collaboration and comfort, with spaces crafted to suit the client’s working style and enhance team productivity.

Key features of the scheme included:
Office and meeting spaces designed for collaboration and functionality, with integrated technology.
Bespoke joinery throughout, including a fully fitted kitchen, custom boardroom cabinetry, lockers and storage solutions.
Premium finishes, from birch ply wall panels and shelving to feature flooring and acoustic treatments.
Breakout areas and informal meeting zones to encourage team interaction.
Electrical and data infrastructure, including LED lighting, small power and AV-ready installations.
Every element was delivered with precision - from the accurate alignment of birch ply panels to the seamless integration of joinery and building services. The result is a workspace that reflects JMA’s brand identity, supports operational efficiency and offers a professional yet welcoming environment.
Delivered in just 10 weeks, the JMA Office project demonstrates Kilmal’s ability to combine bespoke craftsmanship, efficient project management and a deep understanding of workplace design to create spaces that are as practical as they are visually striking.
