Description

Furniture is required for educational and business use and must be capable of withstanding the heavy wear and tear typical of a FE environment.

A refresh programme is conducted throughout the year consisting of a full range of furniture requirements, smaller orders are placed throughout the year according to demand. Requirements include but are not limited to; fully welded tables, operator chairs, stacking chairs, lockers, tambour units, white boards, notice boards, leather effect settees and other soft seating. Please refer to the specification / pricing matrix for further details. All figures and Order details are provided as an indication of potential usage which are subject to change and should in no way be taken as a guarantee of future work.
