Our Environment

 

Like most people I?m concerned about the state of the environment and the potential impact our lifestyles will have on future generations. Without wanting to get on my soapbox, I do think it?s important to do my bit. At home I use energy saving light bulbs, I recycle and I switch the TV off at the wall. This isn?t going to change the world overnight, but it will help. At work we take the same view so that you can find peace of mind knowing that your beautiful furniture is responsibly produced.

What this means in practical terms is:
  • My brochure is 100% recyclable. It is printed on mixed source recycled paper and can also be recycled.
  • Because we?ve joined forces with the Woodland Trust charity, a tree is dedicated for every room sold. The trees are all native British trees and are planted in 5 woods throughout the UK.
  • The majority of your furniture is made in an efficient factory in Leicestershire from materials sourced in the UK. This means our products aren?t shipped or air freighted around the world.
  • My company is FSC Certified. The Forestry Stewardship Council is an international, non-governmental organisation dedicated to promoting responsible management of the world?s forests. Click here to see our FSC certificate
  • We have a strict Timber Sourcing Policy so that we can be sure the wood used to make your furniture is from well-managed forests. Click here to read the full Timber Sourcing Policy
  • We recycle or reuse practically everything including paper, plastic and the packaging your room is delivered in. Even the factories are heated by burning waste material.
  • More environmentally friendly products are used in production e.g. lacquers have been changed in the veneers factory from oil based to reduce VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds).
Through our Woodland Trust association we have planted the equivalent of over 1000 football pitches!
