When Calder Conferences decided to move to a larger, more corporate head office they needed help and advice on the
best way to utilise their new found space. Furniture Exchange was asked to consult on and supply a range of
products that best suited Calder’s requirements & budget.

As a totally independent supplier, not tied to any one manufacturer, we have the freedom to find the best solution for the client from a wide range of styles and price points. We also took the existing furniture away from site, disposing of some, but giving a credit to Calder for anything that could be sold through our network of retail warehouses.

After testing a variety of different products suggested by Furniture Exchange, Calder’s James Turner decided on the versatile & robust FT2 range from Claremont. Pilot workstations were organised and set up on site for James and his team at Calder to trial in the surroundings they would eventually enhance.

Standard wave desks with 3 drawer, desk high pedestals were used for the call centre floors. In order to maintain the modern look throughout the building we specified radial desks in a Maple MFC finish with matching desk high drawer pedestals, but added silver steel modesty panels, CPU holders, flat screen monitor arms & desk mounted accessory beams to the Managers’ workstations to make a more distinctive looking workstation to reinforce their positions.

A few weeks after the initial fit-out of the Calder office we were asked to look at ways of increasing desk top space as well as the personal files storage, without impacting on the additional open office space. We arranged for Calder to trial some 3/4 circle meeting, or “conference”, desk-end extensions, which fitted the bill. We also provided a number of mobile, under desk, 2 drawer filing pedestals, which we were able the match to the FF2 silver steel legs.
