Build Relationships. Win Business. Help Give Furniture a Second Life.

Do you have a bit of entrepreneurial spirit?

Are you naturally curious, confident talking to people and excited by the idea of building relationships that turn into real business opportunities?

Perhaps you've already had some success in sales, retail, hospitality, customer service or business development and you're ready for something bigger.

Now imagine combining that ambition with a business that's helping organisations extend the life of furniture, reduce waste and create more sustainable workplaces.
From restoring historic furniture for The National Gallery to supplying innovative furniture solutions to leading universities, hospitals and businesses, we help clients make smarter choices that are better for both their budgets and the environment.

If you're ambitious, commercially minded and excited by the idea of helping grow a respected business with a genuine sustainability story, we'd love to hear from you.
