Embracing Eco-Friendly Practices in the Marine Industry: The Power of Refurbished Office Furniture

In a world where sustainability and eco-friendliness are becoming increasingly important, businesses are looking for ways to make a difference. One such company is Williams Jet Tenders, a renowned boat manufacturer that has made a conscious decision to invest in high-quality refurbished office chairs from Coggin Sustainable Office Solutions. By choosing to support office furniture reuse, Williams Jet Tenders demonstrates its commitment to reducing waste and promoting a sustainable future within the marine industry.


"£1,224 in procurement savings & 3,332kg carbon reduction when compared to brand new equivalent office furniture."


Why Office Furniture Reuse Matters


The production of new office furniture consumes a significant amount of natural resources, while also generating considerable waste. In fact, it is estimated that around 8.5 million tons of office furniture end up in landfills annually. By opting for refurbished office chairs, companies like Williams Jet Tenders can play a part in reducing this waste and conserving valuable resources.


The Benefits of Choosing Coggin Sustainable Office Solutions


Williams Jet Tenders has chosen to collaborate with Coggin Sustainable Office Solutions, a company specialising in the refurbishment and resale of high-quality office furniture. By choosing to work with Coggin, Williams Jet Tenders not only supports the circular economy but also reaps the following benefits:


  • Cost Savings: Refurbished office furniture typically costs significantly less than its brand-new counterpart, allowing companies to save on their bottom line without compromising on quality.


  • Environmentally Friendly: Refurbished office furniture has a smaller carbon footprint than new items, making it a greener choice for businesses looking to reduce their environmental impact.


  • Customisation: Coggin Sustainable Office Solutions offers the opportunity to customise refurbished chairs to match a company's specific needs, ensuring a perfect fit for any office space.


  • Durability: Coggin's rigorous refurbishment process guarantees that their products are built to last, providing companies with a reliable and long-lasting office furniture solution.


Setting an Example for the Marine Industry


By choosing to invest in refurbished office chairs from Coggin Sustainable Office Solutions, Williams Jet Tenders sets a precedent for other businesses within the marine industry. As a leader in the field, their actions demonstrate that it is possible to make sustainable choices without sacrificing quality or productivity.


Williams Jet Tenders' decision to invest in high-quality refurbished office chairs is a clear indication of the company's dedication to sustainability and environmental responsibility. By supporting office furniture reuse through companies like Coggin Sustainable Office Solutions, businesses within the marine industry and beyond can make a positive impact on the environment while also enjoying the benefits of cost savings, customisation, and durability. This move by Williams Jet Tenders serves as an inspiration for other companies to follow suit and embrace the advantages of sustainable office solutions.


Client feedback:


Sustainability is a key pillar of success at Williams, as our products give people the ability to experience the most diverse, remote and exclusive marine environments in the world – these environments need protecting. We believe sustainability starts at home, and when we set out plans to create more space at our HQ, we wanted to do it in the most sustainable way possible. Over 60% of all waste that goes to landfill comes from the construction of sites, so reducing waste, improving energy efficiency, and using sustainable materials (such as Foresso) were key goals to build into the project.

 

After hearing about Coggin, we immediately knew they were the right partner to help furnish our new offices. We saved significant costs on a designer task chair, which was intercepted on the way to landfill, and impeccably refurbished to the point we couldn’t believe it wasn’t brand new! But more than saving costs, amazing customer service and inspirational design; you get a warm feeling that you’ve had a positive impact on the environment – there is no substitute for this. If you’re not already buying ‘used’, it’s probably because it’s not what you’re used to, but there’s big wins to be had for giving it a try, and Coggin are leading the way!

One Size Doesn't Fit All: The Benefits of Resizing and Repurposing Office Desks

By Ida Gorecka • September 8, 2025
Your office transformation is approved. Budget's signed off. New layout's finalised. There's just one problem: those 1600mm executive desks that worked perfectly in the old corner offices are now 400mm too wide for your new collaborative pods. The reception desk you spent £3,000 on last year? It's the wrong height entirely for your rebrand. Most facilities managers would see this as a disposal problem. Skip hire , landfill tax , 12-week lead times for replacements. But what if that's completely backwards? What if the furniture that doesn't fit isn't a problem to solve, but an asset to unlock? Every year in the UK, around 1.2 million desks and 1.8 million office chairs are sent to landfill and only 14 % of them are being reused (Source: WRAP , Lancashire Business View ). Those old, "wrong-sized" desks you're planning to skip? They can be professionally refurbished and resized to your exact specifications in 7-10 days , at 40-70% less than new , with zero waste and a 12-month warranty . This article is for facilities managers, procurement leads, and fit-out teams who want practical, product-focused solutions. You’ll see when resizing and repurposing makes sense, the savings it delivers, the compliance boxes it ticks, and how to roll it out step by step. Curious what your current desks could deliver if resized or refurbished? Book a free assessment - we’ll map options, costs, and timelines for you.

Why Paying More Isn't Always Better: The Smart Choice of Refurbished Ergonomic Chairs

By Ida Gorecka • August 19, 2025
Refitting an office today means juggling a lot: tighter budgets, faster timelines, and pressure to deliver on ESG goals. And when it comes to ergonomic chairs, the one piece of furniture an office team relies on every day, many assume paying more for “new” automatically means better. But that’s no longer true. Refurbished ergonomic chairs offer the same comfort , durability , and support as new, backed by warranties , come with less cost and with far shorter lead times . For facilities and procurement teams, that means more budget freed up for other priorities, and fewer delays holding back your project. At Coggin SOS, we work with organisations that once assumed refurbished meant second-best. Until they saw the results. High-performance, fully warranted ergonomic chairs. Fast delivery. Circular outcomes they could actually report on. And savings of up to 80% compared to new (check out our case studies here ). In this article, you’ll learn what refurbished office chairs really offer in practice, why they’re becoming a preferred option for FM teams and procurement leads, and how your next fit-out or move could be both greener and smarter than you think. Thinking about your next office project? Contact our team and see how premium refurbished ergonomic chairs can give you comfort, savings, and sustainability in one.

Maybe you’re under pressure to meet sustainability targets, stay on budget, and deliver results your team and clients can actually see. And right now, office furniture might not be on your radar.

Your project timelines . Your reputation . This article is for you if you’re tired of defaulting to skips. If you want smarter ways to meet ESG goals without blowing your budget. If you’re ready to make office sustainability a measurable advantage - not just a checkbox. We’ll show you just how much office furniture is wasted each year, what it’s really costing your business, and how the circular economy can apply directly to your projects. You’ll learn how organisations like yours are saving thousands, avoiding skips entirely, and turning unwanted furniture into reportable ESG wins - plus practical steps to get started today.
