Our Story

ChairsGB is based in a custom built facility in a converted apple orchard in Alresford. We sell furniture for the contract market and employ 38 Staff in the UK.

The company has shown continued and sustained growth over the last few years. In 1998 we turned over £250,000, we predict we will turn over £3million in 2012.

Contract Interiors is a Limited Company trading as ChairsGB.com.

The Company has been established since 1970 when John Roy started building bar stools for local pubs in a small workshop in Dunmow Essex.

The business developed into Manufacturing Complete Themes and Schemes in Pubs, Our main business for a while included exporting “Dirty Nelly” Themed Irish Pubs to Scandinavia.

On the completion of each scheme John would travel to the premises and attend the business launch, he marked the opening by playing Scotland the Brave on his Bagpipes. John still requires little encouragement to whip out his instrument for the entertainment of others.

In 1998 the £ was strong against other European currencies which meant that our Manufacturing and Export Business was reducing. We decided to set up a separate division called ChairsGB.com.

Our ChairsGB customer base is primarily in the UK leisure and licensed Industries.

We retained our in house manufacture of bench seating, custom-made tabletops and upholstery services.

We started importing from Eastern Europe and Asia, fully finished furniture and other products in component form ready for assembly and finishing in the UK.

We bring in this mix of items for flexibility and custom finishing. The items that come in already finished are of a lower cost than the ones that we have to custom finish.

Our best selling products are Stacking Chairs, Dining Chairs and Bench Seating.

We pride ourselves on having good quality products that withstand the heavy use our customers demand and invest a lot of time in perfecting product design.

Since the recession started we have been looking more at our manufactured items and are completing more and more projects which need a lot of manufacture, we are getting excited about how much business is out there and in 2011 we have increased our turnover by just by saying yes to more project work.

With the £ getting weaker our export business is looking inviting again. We are increasing our range of manufactured items and are looking for ways in which we can manufacture and export more.

This is an exciting time for us; if we can manufacture more of what we are selling and can keep our turnover growing this will ultimately mean more employment in the local community.

Our Staff

We have all kinds of personalities and everyone pays an integral part in the running of the Business. One of the good things is our well-balanced group; we have staff aged 18 to 63, Male Female, Chinese and Polish.

Some of our staff have been with the company for a many years, Colin; our Dispatch Leader is the one of the longest standing with 25 years under his belt!

Environment

At ChairsGB we really care about the environment and do everything we can to help conserve our world. We have a wood burner to heat part of our factory and use recycled off cuts to fuel it.

A lot of the furniture we use is made from Rubber wood, which is one of the world’s most sustainable woods. All our metal products are made from in part or 100% recycled steel.

We also use Colchester Skip hire to handle all of our other waste because of their reputation for recycling.
