LONDON, September 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

Maris Interiors LLP, the UK's leading specialist in workplace design, have today launched their campaign to save companies a fortune by optimising their office space.

After staff costs, property expenditure is the largest overhead companies have to manage. As office rents are calculated per square foot, per year it is easy to misunderstand the total cost of a 10-year lease commitment.

Latest research has shown that poorly designed office space is costing UK businesses over £135 billion every year, and uncovered the alarming fact that workspace is only used 50% of the time, leaving a large amount of under-utilised real estate.

Maris' optimisation programme identifies key principles that the majority of UK companies fail to do when designing new office space.

Utilising Maris' optimisation expertise and proven techniques, they are able to save companies between 7.5% and 20% on their property costs over the period of their lease. A company occupying 25,000 square feet could save over £5 million over the length of their lease using Maris' optimisation techniques.

Maris has launched a range of Seminars to explain this process and a number of guidebooks and reports which offer step-by-step, straight-forward advice. Maris' Seminars and guidebooks are available free of charge and can be booked or requested online at http://www.maris-interiors.co.uk.

Maris' Chairman, Michael Howard, commented, "By following our optimisation process, you will not only save your company a fortune, but increase productivity, attract key personnel and boost morale in a way never experienced before."
