Okay, so you've sifted through all the usual web sites on line, trawled through the eBay auctions and hey presto. You find one that you like and 'looks the part'. You've got a bargain! OR have you.
Scenario: You have 30 staff: weight ranging from 45kg (7 stone) to 165kg (26 stone) with height ranging from 1.5m (5') to 1.98m (6'5"). Do you go out and buy everybody the same chair? I see this type of mistake being made everyday. Selecting the correct chair to fit the user for comfort is essential.
Think about how long the seat is being used: 8, 12 or 24 hours. Chairs range from light useage to the more demanding 24 hour operation.
The nature of our business is assessing ergonomic needs in the office workplace. We advise and specify correct chairs and equipment for your office environment, ensuring compliance to regulations.
The endless amount of people who are still blinkered by health & safety standards. INVEST in a decent chair, it'll be worth every penny.

Hands up! I bought an office chair from Staples which lasted 4 months on an average 8 hour day, plus it was flaming uncomfortable. If I was in Manchester I'd look you up. Thanks for the tip. Jane
