Dams Furniture – Trades or Manufacturing Business of the Year award

/in , /by

Dams Furniture has been honoured with the Trades or Manufacturing Business of the Year award at the Merseyside Independent Business Awards 2023. The ceremony, held at the iconic Titanic Hotel in Liverpool, brought together Merseyside’s most outstanding independent businesses and talent to celebrate their accomplishments.

 

 

The MIB Awards, organised by Morecrofts LLP and marking its ninth year of ceremonies, aims to gather the best of Merseyside’s independent businesses to collectively honour their accomplishments and those of their peers. This year is Dams Furniture’s second shortlisting and first win at the awards – a reflection of the impressive growth, innovation, and dedication that has led them to become one of the UK’s largest manufacturers of office furniture.

The team at Dams Furniture have been providing office furniture solutions since the 1960s. Now firmly established as one of the UK’s leading full range manufacturers of office furniture, Dams’ product range is more diverse than ever, featuring unique products that stand out for their compelling design, superior quality, and exceptional value. With over 9,500 products stocked and 1,500 made-to-order items available, the Dams team say they have the best portfolio of office furniture products in the UK, and are better placed than ever to service their customers.

Chris Scott, Managing Director, expressed his delight at their win, “We’re absolutely thrilled to have received this honour and recognition, which would not have been possible without the unwavering hard work and dedication of our entire team, from the warehouse teams to our offices, and everyone in-between. I would also like to extend our heartfelt thanks to our loyal customers, trusted dealers, and everyone else who has been part of our journey and contributed to our growth over the years. Your support has been instrumental in our success story, and we share this achievement with each one of you.

“This award is not just a reflection of our past achievements but also a source of motivation for the future, reaffirming our commitment to excellence, innovation, and social responsibility. We take pride in representing Knowsley and the wider Merseyside region, and we look forward to continuing our mission of delivering quality products and exceptional service to our clients while exploring new opportunities for innovation and growth.”

Dams Furniture is a family-owned and proud UK manufacturer and wholesaler of office furniture, dedicated to constant growth and innovation, with an ongoing commitment to making a positive impact on both the environment and the local community. Their upcoming nomination for the 2023 Knowsley Business Awards, in the Corporate Social Responsibility category, reaffirms this commitment. The team at Dams looks forward to a future filled with even greater achievements and contributions.

Kastaway – for a Modern, Multi-functional Workspace

/in , /by

Kastaway is symbolic to being somewhere tranquil and relaxing opposed to a high pressure environment. The Kastaway landscape furniture collection can be linked together with details or shapes, or used as stand‐alone pieces, creating bespoke, flexible furniture solutions that can easily be arranged in a variety of dynamic configurations, making them ideal for employees and small groups to relax or meet informally.

 

 

Kastaway is the result of a creative design collaboration between Dams and international award winning Designer David Fox, and has been developed with modern looking soft seating incorporating softer and more homely ribbed details, together with wooden tables and desks to create the complete contemporary working environment.

DAMS OPEN THE DOORS ON FACTORY 2 

Dams Furniture have opened their new, multi-million-pound manufacturing facility at their head office site in Knowsley, Merseyside.

The new 85,000 sq. ft (7,900 sq. m) building consolidates the four sites that Dams currently operate from on Knowsley Industrial Park into one larger site which will bring all their manufacturing and assembly together on one full site alongside their head office, showroom, warehouse and distribution centre.

“Dams have been a big champion of UK manufacturing ever since my father set up the business over 50 years ago, and we’re investing back in the business so we can better support the needs of our customers.” says Chris Scott, Managing Director. “This new production facility marks the start of the next phase of our development as a business and we are really looking forward to working in the new space over the coming weeks, months and years”.

“Having all our operations on one larger site will not only boost our UK manufacturing capabilities and reduce our lead times on made-to-order products, but it will also create dozens of new jobs which will have a positive effect on the local and wider community. Not just in the short term but for years to come!”

Dams head office site uses waste wood from the wood factory to power their central heating system. Two biomass boilers heat the production facilities and warehouse space reducing Dams demand for oil and gas, whilst at the same time helping to improve waste management, with over 95% being converted.

And no brand new, state of the art UK manufacturing facility is complete without a ‘hub’ area for Dams employees to enjoy on break times with Foosball and PingPong tables, outdoor dining facilities, and the iconic red British phone box to make any personal calls!

Dams always encourage their customers to go and pay them a visit to see and experience their products first hand, and for a tour of the operations – so feel free to book an appointment with one of the Dams sales team if you’d like to go along to Dams HQ!
