The London offices of this FTSE 100 financial services group provides a central base for the chairman, CEO and other executives. The board met once a month at this location and during these and other sensitive meetings it became necessary to leave all other rooms empty as speech could be clearly heard. The sound travelled predominantly through the metal perforated ceiling tile and the ceiling plenum, but a full acoustic study was commissioned and identified a number of weaknesses in the partition system and a general lack of absorption.
The 40 plus page report detailed every weakness and made recommendations to solve the speech privacy issue. The solution was three fold:
The solution has proved so effective that the PA to the Chairman can no longer tell if he was in his office and the board now sits every month with all meeting rooms in use.
These example test results measure sound leaking from a closed meeting room into an open plan area.

The report was essential to us, providing the guarantee to sell the solution internally; we occasionally lend the facility to other companies in the knowledge that it is acoustically secure.
