Hi Dave & Derek

Please pass my thanks on to the team – another great job. Few pictures attached of the final office.

Many thanks

Hello Amanda,

I received 2 chairs from you that I have ordered recently and would just like to thank you and the delivery guys for being so professional and helpful!

I was out of the office yesterday on an inspection and when I returned there were the 2 chairs I had ordered, fully put together waiting by my desk!

I was told the 2 lads who delivered the chairs, struggled up the stairs with them – this just shows the commitment and level of customer service so a massive thank you to the lads and yourselves at the office!

Many thanks

Dear Leigh

Just had to send you a quick note regarding my experience with your company, and in particular Nigel who I have dealt with. Of course the product and the price have to be right but I must say that Nigel is one of the most helpful and friendly people I have had the pleasure of dealing with and is a credit to you and your company.

I run my own small family-owned firm and know all too well how important customer service is and how our staff have to wow our clients. Nigel certainly did. So much so that had I found another website that offered a better product, I would have called Nigel back to see if I could buy it from BT Office Furniture as I really wanted the business to go to him. And if I had found somewhere cheaper for the same product I would still have placed my business with Nigel just for the experience.

I look forward now to receiving the goods ordered and using your company again the next time I need more furniture.

Regards

Many thanks for what was a superb delivery yesterday. Without a doubt one of the best jobs I have seen in a while. My wife said your team were very professional and I am certainly happy with the finish – not something I say lightly.

Thanks again

Hi Nigel

Thanks for this, I would also like to pass on my thanks to Dave and his team, they were brilliant and their attitudes were a breath of fresh air. A job very well done by all.

I have a small favour if at all possible, would you have someone who could move our HR desks around, they want to face each other and the IS chap has gout so can’t move anything. It would be a half hour job.

Many thanks

Thank you for emailing. It went very well thank you. Both of your guys were really helpful and efficient so thanks to them.

Dear Chris

Just wanted to say that we are really pleased with all the furniture that you supplied – our receptionist was “thrilled to bits”.

Your guys were very efficient and had all the furniture made up in good time.

Thank you for all your assistance.

Kind regards

I want to thank you for what can only be described as exceptional service.

I ordered my desk and asked if it could be delivered on a specific day. You told me this could only be the case if there was a lorry coming up to Worcestershire.

But you really helped me out, kept me informed and when you realised the desk was going to be delivered to you on the day I requested, you had it delivered directly to me and assembled.

This is quality customer care and service, not to be forgotten and not to be kept to myself – I’m telling others how impressed I’ve been with you.

Once again, thank you.

Best wishes

Attn. Leigh.

We’ve just had delivery of our 2 black cupboards. Thank you.

I felt we should let you know that your 2 drivers were absolutely lovely.

When I asked if it was a problem to take the cupboard up some stairs (2 flights), they responded that it wasn’t  a problem and said “it’s our job”.

We have many deliveries to our offices and many times we are faced with miserable, unhelpful drivers. It was a pleasure to deal with your 2 guys today.

I have been meaning to send you these not very good photographs for ages, to let you see how well your screens worked with the one way vision film and also the orange operator chairs and funky coffee table.

The owner is delighted how we were able to squeeze a quart into a pint pot and transform a smelly old pet shop!

Thanks again for your help

Good morning Derek,

The headmistress was very very impressed (can’t stress how impressed) with the plans and we should have an order with you by the end of the day. Thank you so much for all of the hard work that you have put in.

It is greatly appreciated.

Dear Sir/Madam

Firstly, this is a thank you for the professional manner with which the company has dealt with my husband and myself from calling in at your showroom and placing an order – and talking to not only the administrator – but also the stockroom workers – ie. Chris in particular.

Very knowledgeable and helpful. Your Admin Assistant was kind and patient in advising on products. To delivery – on the day very courteous and helpful gentlemen – including unwrapping and taking away the packing.

I know this would not be the biggest sale in your organisation but you made us feel no less important.

Once again thank you to all who make it a joy to do business with such a professional organisation.

Yours faithfully

Dear Leigh

Thank you so much for arranging the delivery of the Black Leather Executive Armchair last Thursday, the very day of the birthday for which it was planned as a very special present.

I realise that a few strings had to be pulled and am genuinely grateful that the effort was made. The recipient is utterly delighted with the chair, in fact it’s a problem tempting him out of it!

Thanks again and all the best,

Avril Bardoni

Derek,

I was very impressed with your men. They were pleasant and hard-working and did a brilliant job in record time (they finished at around 3.00).

Please pass on my thanks to them.

Thanks,

Dee Whitelock

Derek,

Thank you very much for your generous gift this Christmas.

The hamper has just been delivered and Angela and I will enjoy unwrapping it and exploring and sampling the goodies over Christmas.

I was pleased to be able to make the recommendation to Selecta, without expectation of any recognition, as I knew you had previously provided us with  first class service in Stratford and would not let Selecta down.

I know they are happy with the outcome and have considered you for other fit out projects.

My best wishes to you and the BT team for a happy and peaceful Christmas.

Roger Seddon

With many thanks.

Your delivery guys were v.impressive.

1. Vespa Workstation

How about this for an office desk…

An Australian blogger decided to customise his 1968 Vespa Sprint and convert it into a fully functional and comfortable office workstation. According to the creator, the Italian scooter was beyond restoration.

“I have tried to maintain the traditional characteristics by converting the back half into a functional workstation, complete with adjustable lap top stand.”

Vespa Workstation

2. Portable Office

Could this be the ultimate in office furniture chic?

Welcome to the Louis Vuitton Portable Office Trunk!

Louis Vuitton Office Trunk

This stylish and classy office comes complete with DVD player, TV, solar power and coffee maker. The coffee maker is actually powered by a small can of petrol.

I recommend you check this can is empty before embarking on any international travel. Explaining the petrol can to customs could result in severe embarrassment, or even worse – arrest!

Not recommended for destinations to the Middle East or USA!

You will probably need a suitcase of equivalent size stuffed full of cash to pay for this!

3. Kruikantoor – Portable Office Furniture

This takes some beating.

Dutch designer Tim Vinke has created this impressive office ‘suite’ which can be wheeled around like a wheelbarrow.

His lightweight office is actually made from EPS foam and covered with a coating of polyurea hotspray.

Amazingly, this office comes complete with 2 office chairs, an office desk, light, electricity connection and office storage. As you can see from the images, it can be put together and wheeled around to almost any location.

Not quite as cool perhaps as the Louis Vuitton Office Trunk but certainly a lot more practical. You’ll be the envy of your friends when you wheel this down to the park to work on a sunny afternoon. Be aware you may get stopped and asked if you sell hotdogs.

Office Desk With 2 Chairs And Storage

4. Hip Office

All the health experts agree that you should avoid sitting for prolonged periods at your office desk. This next unusual office accessory is called a Hip Office and has been ergonomically designed to provide a solution for those who wish to get up more often from their office desk.

For fitness fanatics and the more adventurous amongst you, why not try stretching while you work or perhaps even go for a gentle jog around the office.

A bit of friendly advice – just like you shouldn’t use a mobile phone while driving, avoid typing while jogging and remember to look up occasionally. You don’t want to knock over the tea lady.

Hip Office

5. The House On The Table

This final offering is probably my favourite. Created by design studio Design Mong it is literally a house that fits on top of your office desk.

We all need a bit of space and some quiet time away from the hustle and bustle of the office. For many of us the only way we can achieve this during the working day is through multiple extended visits to the office convenience.

Of course by doing this you may end up being the subject of office speculation concerning the frequency of your movements. It’s also possible you may be disciplined for spending too much time away from your office desk.

The solution? This wonderful office den which gives you all the personal office space you could ever need. Imagine how pleasant it would be spending your working day cocooned inside your own personal mini house.

If you get really creative, you could perhaps use it for holding regular private meetings with the office hottie!

The House On The Table

Many people have a clear idea about the type of office furniture they want for their office and even the design type and style.

However, it is not always immediately apparent how the office furniture will fit into the space you have available.

Of course if your office is a relatively uniform shape such as a square or rectangle, your office planning will be much easier. But this is not always the case and consequently problems can arise.

There are many considerations that need to be taken into account including work flow analysis (which involves analysing the organisational structure of the office), office desk type and shape, office storage and office chair ergonomics.

This is why it is so important to have a floor plan, or at the very least a clear idea in your mind about where your different items of office furniture will be located to maximise your workspace and employee productivity.

Of course, the size of your budget will largely determine your ultimate decisions and so it is important to be aware of the different types of material and finish available for your chosen product. You will no doubt want to balance quality and durability with cost.

Some office items often get overlooked, such as the water cooler for instance (if you decide you are going to have one).  Also, some people imagine that their office desks will by default be rectangular and this can cause them problems in office spaces that have an irregular shape.

Needless to say there are many different designs available for office desks including straight-edged, curved and L-shaped. Additionally some ranges, in particular larger workstations, can often be configured in many different ways, limited only by your imagination. This is great news if your space is limited or unusually shaped.

However, sometimes too many choices can make our ultimate decisions difficult to make. This can lead to uncertainty and items of office furniture being ordered that do not fully complement each other.

It’s a bit like choosing new toothpaste. Nowadays there are so many different brands and options available that having too much choice makes choosing more difficult (if you know what I mean)!

Ultimately, you will want your office workspace to flow naturally and to be optimised for productivity. This is why we recommend that you have your office space professionally assessed and designed.

At BT Office Furniture we are pleased to be able to offer a full 2D and 3D Space Planning & Design Service.

Selfridges – London

It’s always nice to receive a positive testimonial from a satisfied customer, especially when it comes from an internationally renowned company – Selfridges of London!

Dear Dave & Derek,

Please pass my thanks on to the team – another great job. Few pictures attached of the final office.

Many thanks

I was a little reluctant to use the title Cheap Office Furniture because there is a natural implication that cheap means poor quality.

However, this is not necessarily the case.

We have both Economy Furniture and Clearance Furniture to cater for all budgets. Our cheap office furniture is often discounted for genuine reasons (see below).

Economy Furniture

The economy furniture section includes furniture from several different ranges. Each range offers excellent value for money and is suitable for every day commercial use.

The office furniture in this section is grouped by code. In other words, all ranges with a code starting with ‘BT’ are from the same range and therefore match.

If a particular desk within this section catches your eye but is not the exactly as you require, please call or email as we have a large variety of stock that is not always displayed online.

Minimum 5% Discount Coupon (Dependent Upon Quantity)

We are currently offering a promotion where we can give you a discount on certain products in return for a ‘Like’ on Facebook.

This discount will be added to any product with a ‘BT’ Product Code. Conditions may apply.

Just scan the following QR (Quick Response Code) and follow the instructions.

You will need a smartphone and a FREE App (eg. QuickMark for Android or QR Reader for iPhone)

Alternatively, click on the following link:

Clearance Zone

The clearance zone is full of our latest promotional deals, as well as special offers from our manufacturers.

The office furniture in this section are often cancelled orders, surplus stock, discontinued products or simply items that we are promoting at lower than normal prices.

The section includes a wide range of furniture including office desks, office chairs, reception desks, meeting room tables, all kinds of office furniture.

Office Desk Guide

When choosing new office furniture, most people will naturally place the most emphasis on choosing an ergonomically designed and comfortable office chair.

However equal consideration should also be given to choosing a suitable office desk for your workspace. This is often overlooked as simply an object of substance and that style and functionality are of little relevance.

In order to provide your employees or indeed yourself with a comfortable and productive working environment, the following points should be considered:

How Will The Office Desk Be Used?

The way your employees use their office desk should of course have an impact on your ultimate choice. These days, it is rare to find an office desk that does not have a computer perched on top.

CPU Holder and Monitor Arm

If your employee is using a desktop computer (rather than a notebook or laptop), it is a good idea to install a CPU holder and monitor arm. This obviously helps to maximise the working area of the office desk and helps to keep it free from clutter.

Cable Management

You may also want to consider different power/data solutions. With a little careful planning, it is possible to create your own cable management solution for your office desk. For instance, you could let your cables run through cable spines or cable baskets available in various lengths. Our 3WT cable channels stick on to the underside of your desk and allows cables to run through it horizontally.

We can also provide smart power / data solutions that fit into cable baskets or to the desk top. The space saving pop up or flip up versions are hidden in the desk when not required.

Additionally, some of our office desks have multiple cable management solution configurations built in. See our Opteam Office Desk Range for an example.

Office Desk Storage

This is another consideration that often gets neglected, in part due to the fact that most offices have subsidiary storage in the form of cabinets etc.

However, if you want your employees to be productive, efficient and organised it might be beneficial to add complementary storage and pedestal options. This ensures that your staff’s paperwork and stationery is always to hand.

Modesty Screens

If your choice of office desk does not have a pre-fitted screen, you may want to consider this in order to preserve and protect the modesty of your female employees.

Large Office Desks

For senior members of staff such as managers, supervisors and company directors, you will probably want a larger desk to accommodate different types of working scenario. An example of this might be holding a meeting with several people at the same time, all of whom need office desk space for taking notes.

Shaped desks often offer the best solution to these types of scenarios. ‘L’ and ‘U’ shaped office desks are popular choices as they will allow both you and your employees enough space to hold a meeting and have a solid surface for keeping notepads and paperwork.

Style, Colour and Materials

Naturally you will want your office desks to compliment the rest of your office furniture and therefore styling is an important factor to consider.

For instance, an ultra-modern glass desk in an old-fashioned office may stick out like a meat stall at a vegan convention. So you need to decide first of all if you want a glass desk, or a wooden desk. Also, desks are available that come with metal legs. This can provide a further opportunity for concealing cables because some are designed with built-in cable management features.

Additionally, wood desks come in a number of different finishes:

• Laminate
  great value | different finishes and colours available
  
• Metal
  sensibly priced | highly durable
  
• Solid Wood
  high quality | look great | different wood finish options | durable | more expensive than wood veneer
  
• Wood Veneer
  looks fantastic | cheaper than solid wood | less durable than solid wood

Needless to say, there are numerous different colours and shades of wood to choose from. Again you should make sure that your office desk does not clash with your other office furniture.

On a final note, remember that first impressions really do count, so if you want to impress your clients with your office furniture then please read my blog How To Impress Your Clients With Your Office Furniture.

If I were to ask you what type of business you think Amazon is your response would probably be something like:

“An online business selling books, music, electronic goods and more”

In actual fact, you would be wrong.

Primarily, Amazon is a logistics company who have enormous warehouses full of products. Essentially, they are a transportation company who happen to have an online system for taking orders. The orders are then processed and the products are delivered via their vast logistics and transportation teams.

Indeed, the same is true for the mighty McDonalds. You would be forgiven for thinking that McDonalds is all about selling hamburgers. However, Ray Kroc the guy who purchased the company in 1961 off the McDonald brothers realised in 1956 that prime real estate was where the real money and future success of the company lay.

He set up the Franchise Realty Corporation which began buying up tracts of land enabling the corporation to act as landlord to new franchisees. So therefore it could be argued that McDonalds is actually a real estate company.

Why do I cite these examples?

Quite simply because not all office furniture companies are the same.

For example, some office furniture companies are actually more like logistics businesses. They process sales via an online ordering system and the details are then passed to a processing department who create a despatch note. They will then put the flat-packed office furniture on to a van and deliver it.

The difference between BT Office Furniture and some of these other companies that sell cheap office furniture online is that we are actually an office furniture company.

Not only do we have a showroom, but we also offer a full design, planning and installation service.

So when you are choosing your business office furniture, there are a number of things you need to consider:

1. Do you require a bespoke 2D and 3D space planning service?
2. Do you want your office furniture to be assembled?
3. Do you want your office furniture to be installed?

If you answered ‘Yes’ to any of these questions then you will probably want to avoid companies that are essentially logistics operators.

Call centres have become increasingly popular in recent years, due in part to the centralisation of customer support as well as the need to keep business overheads as low as possible.

Additionally, companies that turn over a high volume of sales often need to employ numerous staff in order to process orders quickly and efficiently and deal with customer queries and complaints.

Although on the whole call centres are not very popular with the general public, it would seem that for the time being at least they are here to stay.

They have now become very much a part of our daily lives and although we often dread calling them, customer experiences using call centres have improved over the years as technology has advanced and customer service techniques are honed and streamlined – Please feel free to leave comments and debate this point if you wish!

In the past, call centres were clinical and dull and uncomfortable places to work, but with a huge range of call centre furniture available and numerous different configuration options, there is no reason (or excuse) for choosing drab furniture and uncomfortable chairs. With a little careful thought, it is possible to create a vibrant and enjoyable working environment for your call centre staff.

From an employee perspective it can be a very tough and demanding job mentally. Physically, it often involves many hours seated in a computer chair.

For this reason it is essential that you choose comfortable and aesthetically pleasing call centre furniture in order to create a happy and productive working environment. Especially important are your choice of call centre chairs or computer chairs as they are sometimes referred to.

The ambience of your call centre is important because your staff will often be dealing with customer complaints, which can be physically and mentally demanding. You need to ensure that your call centre is conducive to a relaxed and calming working environment. This can be extremely beneficial and no doubt actually contributes to more sales, better support, and happier customers.

So what factors do you need to consider when choosing your call centre furniture?

• Privacy And Soundproofing
   The days of call centre cubicles are long gone and nowadays there are many different options for dividing screens. It is possible to combine style with soundproofing and privacy. You will want you dividing screens to allow your staff to be able to independently hear their calls.
• Effective Communication
   In addition to privacy and soundproofing, you may want to allow your staff to be able to communicate with each other. This means that you will need to consider the height and positioning of your dividing screens. Please Contact Us is if you need help configuring your options.
• Team Spirit and Morale
   Again, you will need to consider the positioning of your desks. Rather than have your staff in individual cubicles which can feel quite insular, you may want to consider a setup like the one shown in the image below. This particular call centre seats six people and contains dividing screens which allow a certain of privacy but also allow your staff to talk to each other.

• Desk Configuration
   These days, call centre furniture is highly configurable. You can combine different desk shapes and designs, including straight and curved to create an aesthetically pleasing and comfortable space for your staff. Our call centre desks can accomodate 2-8 people and we can help you to create your perfect combination. Additionally, some of the pods can be reconfigured to take any number of users.
• Computer Chairs
  The importance of comfortable and stylish computer chairs hardly needs any elaboration. Your call centre staff will no doubt be spending extended periods sitting at their desk so it is essential that the chairs you provide are ergonomically designed to reduce the risk of injury or complaints.
• Storage And Pedestal Units
  You may wish to provide storage for each of your units so that your staff can keep paperwork and files. For instance, our white bench desks have a complimentary range of storage units.
• Power and Data Solutions
  Some of our call centre desks have integrated cable management, CPU holders and the capability to hold flat screen monitors.
• Fabric, Colour and Style
  You will probably want to ensure that your computer chairs match your call centre desks. Both our chairs and desks have different options for finishes and colours which are available to view on our website. Click Here to view our call centre furniture.
