Office Furniture

Over the past week’s we have been closely working with the furniture manufacturers to maintain supply. Demand has been unprecedented due to large numbers of homeworking requests. Until 24th March, all manufacturers were operating normally. Due to the UK Governments continuing advice regarding the Coronavirus Pandemic, some of our manufacturers had been forced to close their manufacturing processes with no prior notice but most are now returning to normal service.  Lead times on products may, therefore, vary from the lead times quoted for a limited period and existing orders may take longer than expected. We will do our best to update on existing orders but accurate status info may not be readily available on all individual orders. Any existing orders will take priority now that the factories have resumed production.

We will sometimes be in the office and sometimes working remotely but can still accept and place orders with all manufacturers during this shut down period, even if they have a closure, although most manufacturers are now returning to normal operations (listed below). If we do not answer the office phone immediately, we will respond to your message very quickly. We also have a Quickship Furniture section which is accessible from the homepage. These products are faster delivery items to help with homeworking and are updated daily. Please note the lead times stated on each individual product page. With the Coronavirus Pandemic expected to last for some time, we expect the demand for chairs and desks to remain very high, beyond the movement restrictions and factory closures. We are very well placed to assist with you requirements during this very difficult situation.
