Waste to Wonder:
COVID-19 Update
The pandemic has shown us there is a real possibility that companies are considering reducing the number of active seating positions to account for new ways of working and to ensure that social distancing can be maintained.
This raises a challenge to minimise the impact of an abundance of newly redundant office furniture. But with every challenge comes an opportunity, and we believe that opportunity is redistributing your redundant office furniture and equipment to charitable causes. Watch our video to find out more.
