British Airways Holidays signed a lease for the top (eighth) floor of The Create Building, a new Grade A commercial office space in Crawley town centre.
Komfort Partitioning was selected by the main contractor, Office Changes Limited, to provide bespoke partitioning systems for the project, transforming the office into a sleek and functional workspace. The Create Building offers 5.5 floors of modern office space and is owned by Crawley Borough Council, with rental income supporting local services.
'They were incredibly supportive and reliable throughout and contributed to the overall fabulous success of this project.'

Komfort’s Solution
The Polar product range was selected due to its exceptional performance and flexibility while maintaining design continuity. British Airways Holidays required a solution that would provide both functionality and a sleek aesthetic for their new office space.
Komfort’s partitioning systems were installed across the office and meeting room spaces to enhance both privacy and collaboration while allowing natural light to flow through the workspace.
This project was a straightforward and successful collaboration with Office Changes. The installation of Komfort’s systems was completed without significant challenges, thanks to the cohesive teamwork and precise execution of all involved.

The Design Brief
The objectives were to achieve a high-performance office environment while maintaining a clean and modern design. The use of Polar partitions and Sonik doors helped meet these goals, providing acoustic insulation, whilst maintaining an open, light-filled workspace.
Results & Summary
“Office Changes has successfully completed projects for British Airways Holidays on numerous occasions, and for many years. In the late autumn of 2023, Office Changes was approached as a trusted and reliable partner to relocate their business to the prestigious The Create Building, where Crawley Borough Council shares its headquarters as the landlord. Komfort Partitioning are a tried and tested, reliable and local supplier for Office Changes, offering some of the best acoustic glazed partitioning products on the market. They were incredibly supportive and reliable throughout and contributed to the overall fabulous success of this project.”
“We’re thrilled with the finished result of our new office workspace and with the custom-designed meeting and rest rooms, using Komfort acoustic glass partitioning and sliding doors. Not only do we love the quality and contemporary finish, but we’re pleased to have contributed to our sustainability goals by working with another local Sussex based business, alongside our main contractor Office Changes and our landlord Crawley Borough Council.”
