<\/p>\nBudgeting for workplace change is always a balancing act which requires detailed planning, careful research and varying degrees of negotiation and concession.\u00a0 Replacing office furniture as part of a workplace change programme can push budgets over their limits or require compromises on quality and fit that are hard to stomach.\u00a0 If you have already invested in good quality furniture, this doesn\u2019t need to be the case.\u00a0 There\u2019s a number of ways to realise the value of your existing office assets to reduce your furniture expenditure and make your budgets go further.<\/p>\n
To understand the alternatives available to you, you need to have a clear picture of the value of your existing office furniture.\u00a0 We recommend you carry out an extensive furniture audit identifying what assets you have in your estate and the condition of these items of furniture.<\/p>\n
Where resources permit and expertise is available, this can be carried out in-house.\u00a0 Alternatively, employ an expert who understands the potential for these valuable assets – from what can be cost-effectively repaired to the true resale value of individual items.\u00a0 You will then be in a position to make an informed decision about how to realise the value.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Your refurbishment or change project may reflect a different way of working or a new, updated look and feel but that doesn\u2019t necessarily mean you need new furniture.\u00a0 Remanufacturing, repair and refurbishment not only enables you to realise the value of your existing assets but also delivers significant environmental savings.\u00a0 And these days, it doesn\u2019t mean compromising on quality and finish.<\/p>\n
Most office desktops can be remanufactured using the existing desk framework to reduce the footprint of workstations.\u00a0 Alternatively, to reconfigure desks to create an agile working environment, new tops can be remanufactured and used on existing desk frameworks.<\/p>\n
Office chairs, reception seating and break-out furniture from all major manufacturers can all be repaired and reupholstered.\u00a0 What\u2019s more, this can be in the colour and style of your choice. \u00a0Chair bases, metal components and non-fabric chairs can be re-sprayed.<\/p>\n
Acoustic screen and notice boards can be refurbished with a change of colour or size to match your new office desks and meet your changing requirements.\u00a0 Cabinets, shelving and other specialist furniture can also be remanufactured.\u00a0 The opportunities are limitless!<\/p>\n
If you are expanding, it\u2019s possible to supplement existing stock.\u00a0 Again, this doesn\u2019t need to mean more administration for you.\u00a0 Large retailers of used office furniture will have access to a wide range of brands and styles and should be able to meet your requirements.<\/p>\n
Your workplace change may see you consolidating or for whatever reason, remanufacturing and refurbishment may not be right for you or your project.\u00a0 You can still realise the value of unwanted assets whilst prolonging their life, benefiting others and protecting the environment – by selling good quality branded furniture.<\/p>\n
Obtain the maximum return by employing the services of a reputable re-seller. \u00a0If you choose a company which also has remanufacturing and repair capabilities, they will be able to ensure you can make the most of these assets, regardless of their condition.<\/p>\n
If you have specialist items, ensure that the company you choose is able to arrange auction for these high-value assets.<\/p>\n
If there’s no resale value for your unwanted furniture, it is still possible to reduce the cost of disposing of these assets, making more of your budget available for replacing them.\u00a0 Your unwanted furniture and IT equipment could benefit charities, schools or social enterprises through donation.\u00a0 Again, this doesn\u2019t have to result in greater administration for you.\u00a0 Businesses with well-established donation initiatives can make it easy for you to benefit those in need and save on disposal costs.<\/p>\n
By forward planning and choosing the right partner, you can realise the value of your office assets as part of your workplace change without creating additional administration.\u00a0 Not only will this make your budgets go further but it will also enable you to contribute to your company\u2019s sustainability targets.<\/p>\n
