LOF Office Furniture donates to Wisbech Grammar School

LOF Office Furniture has served the Peterborough community for more than 24 years and is providing the school nearly £1,000 worth of furniture including filing cabinets, senator desks and canteen chairs. 

The Peterborough firm allocates a certain amount of furniture each year for community projects and had enough of its yearly budget left to organise the delivery of furniture to the school. 

Al Duncan, head of middle school at Wisbech Grammar School, said: "The LOF team were very accommodating with the support for our upcoming production.

"They listened to the challenge I had of sourcing these pieces of furniture and came back in a matter of hours with the best possible solution."

Nicola Ford, partner of LOF Office Furniture said: “Throughout our journey to grow we have always remained around the Peterborough area, and with our 20,000 sq. ft warehouse just 10 minutes away from the Angle Theatre we felt compelled to support the local show.

“We currently save thousands of tonnes of office furniture from being disposed of and can give these pieces of furniture a new lease of life. Furthermore, it’s great to be able to use them for local schools and communities.”

Preventing office furniture from ending up in landfill is an important goal for LOF which takes each piece through a rigorous refurbishment process before listing them online. 

Recycling, refurbishing, and repurposing office furniture has been key to the success for the Peterborough firm.

According to the Waste & Resources Action Programme (WRAP), over 1.2 million office desks and 1.8 million chairs end up in landfill each year.
