Giving people a good reception

Seating in a workplace is a vital element of your business:

• It is one of the first impressions your visitors, customers, employees and potential recruits get of who you are.
• If your employees are not comfortable, they are going to be unhappy and less efficient, at worst bad seating leads to back problems and time off work
• If it breaks, you can face personal injury claims.
• If it is worn it can lead to health hazards as it cannot be properly cleaned and sources of infection can grow.

Seating in every part of the building is important but it is your reception that everyone sees first. None of us want to give a poor impression of our organisation but if the first thing people experience is reception seating which is tatty, worn, maybe a bit grubby, and uncomfortable, it probably won’t create the most positive reaction, whereas a smart area to welcome visitors starts their visit on the right foot.

And it is not just for the benefit of your visitors but also your employees as they arrive at work every day.

It doesn’t have to be like that, and if budgets are tight, you don’t have to spend a fortune on new seating. Existing seating can be reworked to extend its life and transform the whole look of your reception (and other areas too). If you are generally happy with your choice of seating but when you take a good look, you feel it really could do with a fresh burst of life, we can:

Give it the aaaah factor by replacing the foams. Give it the wow factor with plush fabrics.

Change the look with stitching, fluting or piping detail.

So, if you want to make your employees proud, give the impression you desire to visitors and not contribute to more landfill, call us and let’s see what we can do for you.
