Burgess Furniture Ltd. was established in 1959 by Gerald Burgess, the father of our current managing director Jeremy Burgess, however the company’s manufacturing heritage can be traced back to 1946.

How many people are employed by your company?

We have approximately 120 staff members, covering the offices and on-site factory. We also have location-based sales staff in France and the UAE.

What’s your company vision?

We are very proud of the fact that our products are still designed and, more importantly, manufactured on site in the UK. Our vision and motto is to provide the highest quality product, made from the best quality and sourced materials we can. We believe this makes for an unrivalled product, with a superior product lifespan, and therefore increased customer satisfaction.

What are your core products/services for the hospitality industry?

We manufacture bespoke banqueting and conference solutions for the hospitality market using custom designed chairs and tables. We have recently moved into the soft seating market, which now allows us to provide a complete solution for all areas of hospitality including reception areas and bedrooms.

What new products have you launched recently?

Our Meet-U table system is perfect for either small or large meeting and conference rooms, its a versatile system that can be used as a single unit or configured into a variety of shapes. Its special feature is an integral rotating bridge plate, neatly concealed within the frame, supporting the bridge tops. Additionally, Evosa and Evosa Congress are the perfect chairs for the most prestigious venues.

What other news is there from your company this year?

We are gradually increasing our portfolio of products. The most recent addition has been a collection of soft seating which is suitable for all areas of hospitality. We have also recently updated our collection of Design High Pressure Laminate table finishes, which will allow customers a greater variety when choosing their table finishes.

What is your best seller?

From our chair range, since its launch in 2012, the Orvia conference and banqueting chair has surpassed all expectations in terms of design and unit sales. Orvia has received the FIRA Ergonomics Excellence Award showing that it exceeds standards and provides unmatched comfort.

What do you offer hotels above and beyond expectation?

Our sales representatives work very closely with our customers to provide a bespoke and personal service when purchasing our products.

We pride ourselves on the quality of our products and hallmark each one accordingly. Our structural warranties are for five years, however we know of many chairs which are still in a good state of function, and in service after 20 years.
