We
are still operating in a difficult market and we have seen
the effect of this with the failure of a number of manufacturers
and distributors through the first quarter of 2011. Strangely
however it feels as though things are getting busier, with
plenty of activity and enquiries coming from the commercial
and educational sectors in particular. Market figures
have suggested that the first quarter has been rather flat
and in addition April was unusually short due to the Royal
wedding and Easter weekends, which may have affected the
volume of orders placed during that month.
Despite these factors we have
experienced a terrific response to the introduction of more
choice in our seating portfolio, both with new ranges and
increased specifications in response to the trend of persistent
price pressure on task seating. The Buzz
and Mesh
chairs in particular have provided plenty of value for money
options, while at the same time offering enhanced specification,
as a result of the changes we made in January this year.
Our furniture portfolio has
also undergone a strategic review to ensure it continues
to offer the very best package for our customers.
Interestingly, while we have seen the expected price pressure
affecting volumes within the middle to lower end of the
market, we have simultaneously experienced increased activity
around our premium products, particularly
DNA and our veneered portfolio.
These customers believe that product quality, flexibility
and longevity are also important factors. They demand
first class service levels, both before and after the sale
and they are still prepared to pay a slight premium for
these factors.
We believe that Verco manufactured
product, backed with the superb service from our dealer
partners provides this winning combination and importantly
will continue to do so through the continuing difficult
times ahead !

DNA
- award winning design
DNA
is based on a straightforward idea: that with a small
number of component parts, you gain a straightforward
solution to the demands of workstation design, providing
a flexible, dynamic and innovative interpretation for
the modern workplace.
An
elegant leg frame supports a combination of worktop
shapes and personal storage elements, affording clarity
of thought and design in an otherwise complex environment.
The
clean lines give the DNA
bench system a simple elegance that
belies the exceptional sophistication of its design
and engineering, encouraging collaborative working while
protecting privacy, DNA
enables the perfect balance between
co-operative functionality and individual flair.
The
recent award of the Design Guild Mark recognises the
work of the finest furniture makers working in volume
production in Britain
. The mark is awarded for excellence
in design, use of materials, manufacture and function.
