Kinnarps presence in Scotland
Press release: Jan 2011
Kinnarps – the Swedish workplace furniture experts – have aligned their Scottish business team into two regional sections, east and west, under the leadership of Ray Phelan, their Head of Regional Sales. With the opening of an additional Business Centre and showroom in Glasgow in the latter part of 2010, the leading furniture supplier now has the presence and personnel in place to offer an enhanced service across the whole of Scotland.
Ray Phelan states, “With the development of the teams in Glasgow and Livingston, led by the experienced Ray Hicks, we can service clients from Inverness to Dumfries from a relatively local presence dedicated to the western side of the country. This then allows our established Livingston team to broaden its reach to cover the east of Scotland, from Aberdeen and Dundee, down through Fife, Edinburgh and on to the Borders.”
Kinnarps - which has been in Scotland for over 22 years – has a strong reputation for durable, ergonomic and affordable furniture that can be adapted for any size of business, with their free space planning service and in-house delivery and fitting. With clients ranging from Hewlett Packard in Erskine to The Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh and Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen, the company has a proven track record of success in Scotland.
“We offer a trusted alternative to both private sector and public sector alike”, says Phelan. “Our Buying Solutions agreement gives public sector organisations the simplest route to an approved contract. Our most recent development has been into the education market, where schools, colleges and universities have found our offering appealing, particularly where existing building stock can be refreshed and equipped for the new challenges in education with relatively little cost, compared to new build. We have also broadened our reach to the SME market, where our high level of service and expertise in making the most of space are proving valuable assets to businesses focusing on efficiencies.”
