Who you are dealing with

Three Generations. One Family.

1960s

John Coggin founds the family firm

J & S Coggin & Son starts trading in Lancashire. The values are set here: do the job properly and keep your word.

1980s

David Coggin moves into office furniture

The business pivots into office clearance and furniture resale. Four decades of trade relationships start here.

2011

Sam Coggin joins the business

Sam Coggin joined Coggin SOS in 2011 as an operative and worked every operative role in the business.

2017

Sam Coggin takes over

Sam Coggin took over the running of the business from David Coggin in 2017. Item-level impact tracking began the same year.

Today

The third generation

Sam Coggin is Company Director of Coggin SOS, the third generation of the family to run it. Coggin SOS owns and runs its own 50,000 sq ft processing facility at Forton, near Preston, and works across the UK.

Coggin SOS is a family-run office furniture business in Lancashire. It refurbishes and resells office furniture, clears offices and recycles what cannot be reused, working across the UK from a 50,000 sq ft facility. The company is the third generation of a family line of businesses trading since the 1960s, and in office furniture since the 1980s. It is not a startup or a reseller.

A note from Sam

Straight answers, fair prices and graft. That is how we do business.

I joined this business in 2011 on the tools and did every operative job we have. Since taking over from my dad in 2017 I have led our sales and marketing, and I take it personally that every customer gets the best experience we can give. We are Lancashire born and bred, and we do business the northern way. Straight answers, fair prices and graft.

Orders do not always run perfectly. Nobody's do. What counts is what happens next. When something is not right we fix it quickly and without a fuss. Some of our five star reviews come from orders that hit a problem, because of the way we put things right.

I believe that is why customers stay: around 90p in every pound we invoice comes from a customer who has used us more than once. We do things properly or not at all, and I expect the same from everyone who works at Coggin SOS.

Reviews

Rated by the Organisations We Work With

★★★★★

Thank you to Jess and all the team at Coggin for their hard work and dedication in providing us with more high quality refurbished chairs, and a full impact report for our ESG & sustainability reporting. I'd have no hesitation in recommending their services, every item we've received has been of very high quality with service to match.

Samantha Hamilton-Smith · Customer review · June 2026

★★★★★

We used Coggin for our recent office refit. They removed for recycling our old office kit and supplied c. 30 refurbished chairs, at a fraction of the cost of buying new. From start to finish, Jess was a delight to work with, being prompt with information, keeping us informed and being flexible when we changed our minds. Would recommend these chaps in a heartbeat.

John Lister · Customer review · July 2026

★★★★★

We had a rush order of 44 desks and 37 chairs. All delivered in super fast time, great quality, superb installation guys and overall an excellent experience. Jess's communication was excellent. This is the second order we have placed and we would use them every time and recommend others do the same.

Che Colford · Customer review · July 2026

★★★★★

Great communications throughout from Jess, delivery turned up on time and as expected. We purchased 4 office chairs and desks and they're all in great condition- like new. Would definitely recommend.

Greg NGS · Customer review · July 2026

★★★★★

The team at Coggin helped me with an office refurb this summer and the service was 10/10. No pressure was applied and Jess allowed me to plan and take my time. We went ahead with 10 desks and multiple storage units, also replacing my old furniture and recycling it. Install was extremely smooth with minimal disturbance to our sales floor. We will be using Coggin to refurb 2 other offices in 2026 and 2027.

Matthew Welch · Customer review · July 2026

★★★★★

First class service and delighted we found this company who understood our requirements and dealt with us promptly, efficiently and politely. Could not have had a better experience. Thank you Sam and Jess, appreciated. James

James Ewart · Customer review · June 2026

★★★★★

Jess was a pleasure to deal with. Helped us pull together a package of refurbished office desks and chairs for our business in Scotland. The process was simple and delivery in 7 days. Any small hiccups were dealt with quickly and professionally which is all that can be asked for. Will be using these guys again - why would you not when the furniture is like new at a fraction of the new price.

Fraser McQueen · Customer review · 2024

★★★★★

Really professional service, quick and efficient. The guys who collected were very friendly and got the job done. Will definitely be using them again.

Gareth · Customer review · July 2026

★★★★★

As a growing business, we needed new furniture very quickly for our office move and Jess was very helpful. With everyone in the office having different needs, Coggin's was so accommodating. Such a seamless process and cannot thank the team enough for our incredible office furniture. We can't wait to work with you again in the future.

Emily Hudson · Customer review · 2024

Used Coggin to fit out a new office in Liverpool and from start to finish I was super pleased with the service. Our new office looks amazing and I genuinely feel I have done my bit for the environment. Keep up the great work guys. Neil - Accounts and Legal

Neil Ormesher · Customer review · 2024

★★★★★

Dealt with them for the first time recently. They were great, really friendly and helpful staff with a good ethos. We were able to save money whilst making environmental savings too.

★★★★★

CNG Fuels needed to fit out a new office and The Coggin Group was the only place we needed to go. They are exceptional at what they do and we are more than happy with everything they supplied from radial desks to canteen chairs and boardroom tables and much much more and what's best, they did it all at a great price. Many thanks to Sam, Jayne, Patrick and the rest of the team.
