Fresh Start Waste Services: Offices Furnished With Refurbished Furniture
Fresh Start Waste Services tells its own customers to reduce, reuse and then recycle. When it fitted out its offices in 2023 it did the same, furnishing them with refurbished furniture from Coggin SOS and saving £8,186 against buying new.

What Fresh Start Waste needed
A North West waste management business was furnishing its offices and wanted the furniture to match what it asks of its own customers.
It needed workstations, task chairs, storage and visitor seating that looked right together, at a cost that made sense.
How the project ran
- We supplied refurbished workstations with screens, task chairs, pedestals and visitor seating from stock, matched as one scheme.
- The first delivery went in during spring 2023 with top-ups through 2024 as the team grew.
- Ten seats that could not be reused were recycled through our own process.
- A savings certificate for the fit-out was issued with the invoices.
What it came to
A waste business that practised what it preaches, and a fit-out that cost a fraction of new.

“Working with Coggin Sustainable Office Solutions was easy from start to finish. The communication was fantastic and we’ve kitted our offices out in high-quality, reused furniture, which aligns with our company ethos of operating in a sustainable manner. We encourage all businesses we work with to reduce waste produced, reuse what they can, then recycle with us what they can’t. I’d definitely encourage other businesses looking for furniture to contact them, and give furniture a new lease of life at the same time as minimizing carbon impact”Ben Entwistle, Head of Operations, Fresh Start Waste Services
