have you looked outside for anything obvious

I think that you have an alu slat suspended ceiling? But which one? Which make?
There are a number of ways of fixing the planks, usually it only needs a kind of lift and twist movement to release one. They are essentially held in place by gravity.

Are any jointing strips present - like you see in PVC soffits and fascias? Releasing any connecting strip should be a start.

I'm afraid that i dont know much about commercial work.

No cant find anything obvious out side

No cant see any joining strips litruly spans the whole ceiling and has a strip round edge they sit on like you get on the normal suspended ceilings

I emailed a ceiling company and they said it should unclip and who it might be that manufacturer it and that they stop selling it 10 years ago gonna give it another go
