Chair buyback for FM teams — fast quotes, compliant paperwork, BACS to your finance team.

Built around how FM teams actually work. Single point of contact. PQQ + insurance pack on file. Multi-site portfolios. ESG-ready reports paste-able into your annual report. We invoice whichever legal entity your finance team needs.

WhatsApp us

We have spent enough time across the table from FM teams to know what makes the difference between a useful supplier and an annoying one. The useful suppliers send the PQQ before you ask. They invoice the right legal entity first time. They don't book a call when an email will do, and they don't send a generic email when the situation needs a call. They give you a number for ESG that you can paste into your annual report. We try to be the useful one.

What FMs need

The five things that distinguish a useful chair-buyback supplier

  1. 1. Clean POs and credit notes

    We invoice the legal entity your finance team specifies. Parent group, holding company, specific subsidiary — tell us the entity name and VAT number when booking, and the paperwork is right first time. No two-week back-and-forth on which company name goes on the invoice.

  2. 2. Single point of contact

    Named project lead from quote through BACS through ESG report. No call-centre, no ticket numbers, no "your case has been escalated". Email goes to a single inbox, you get an answer within the working day, every time.

  3. 3. PQQ + insurance + waste-carrier docs on file

    Common supplier onboarding forms (Achilles, Sedex, Constructionline, NQA) we are familiar with and turn around within 48 hours of receipt. Insurance certificates (public liability, employer's liability, motor fleet, professional indemnity) shared within an hour of asking — tell us your risk-team minimums and we will confirm coverage upfront.

  4. 4. Multi-site / portfolio capability

    For accounts likely to clear >1,000 chairs across the year, we set up a portfolio agreement: fixed price book for 12 months, direct booking link for each of your site managers, consolidated invoicing, single ESG report covering all sites. No retainer fees — we earn on the per-chair rate.

  5. 5. ESG numbers your annual report can use

    kg-CO₂e avoided per chair, total kg diverted from landfill, refurb / resell / recycle / energy-recovery split. DEFRA emission factors plus manufacturer life-cycle assessment data where published, methodology disclosed alongside the figures. Suitable for B-Corp, BREEAM, SECR, GRESB and TCFD-aligned reporting.

Pricing & engagement

How FM accounts work with us

Project-by-project

Most FM accounts start here. You have a clearance or relocation, we quote, we collect, we BACS. No master agreement, no monthly fees, just the buyback rate × chair count + compliance pack.

Portfolio agreement

For accounts likely to clear >1,000 chairs across the year, we move to a portfolio agreement. Fixed price book held for 12 months. Master MSA / DPA in place. Site-level booking link for each of your FM site managers. Quarterly review meeting to roll up the numbers and feed into your annual ESG report. No retainer fee — we make our money on the per-chair rate, not on subscriptions.

Framework / tender response

We respond to public-sector and large-corporate tender frameworks for office furniture buyback / disposal. If you are running a tender for a multi-year framework, send the documents and we will turn around a compliant response.

FM FAQ

Common FM team buyback questions

Can you handle multi-site / portfolio buybacks?

Yes. We regularly run portfolio programmes across 3–8 UK sites for the same FM team. Co-ordinated through your single point of contact at our end and the PMO at yours. Same per-chair rates on every site, consolidated invoicing, single ESG report covering the whole portfolio.

Will you fill in our supplier onboarding forms / PQQs?

Yes. We have completed PQQs for FM teams across financial services, professional services, and the public sector. Common forms (Achilles, Sedex, Constructionline, NQA, supplier-specific questionnaires) we are familiar with and turn around within 48 hours of receipt. Tell us upfront which framework you use and we will get the paperwork started in parallel with the quote.

Do you hold ISO 14001 / 9001 / 45001?

Honest answer: we operate to equivalent management-system standards but are not currently UKAS-certified. If certification is mandatory for your supplier list, flag it upfront and we will be straight with you about timeline rather than fudge it. Many FM teams accept equivalents (e.g. Achilles + Sedex) for waste-related suppliers — happy to discuss.

What insurance cover do you carry?

We hold public liability, employer's liability, motor fleet and professional indemnity cover. Specific limits and certificates are shared on request — usually within an hour of asking. If your risk team has a minimum-cover threshold, send it across and we will confirm we meet it before quoting.

Will the BACS go to a parent company / billing entity, not the trading name?

Yes. We invoice whichever legal entity your finance team needs us to — parent groups, holding companies, specific subsidiaries on the same buyback. Tell us the legal entity name + VAT number when booking and the paperwork is right first time.

Can we use you as a preferred supplier across our managed sites?

Yes — for portfolio FM accounts we hold a fixed price book, give each of your site managers a direct booking link, and consolidate invoicing to whichever entity your finance team specifies. Master MSA / DPA in place, no retainer or subscription fees — we make our money on the per-chair rate.

What sustainability metrics can you provide for our annual report?

Per-job + annualised: total chairs collected, kg diverted from landfill, estimated kg-CO₂e avoided vs new manufacture (using DEFRA emission factors and manufacturer life-cycle assessment data where published), refurb-to-resell %, recycle %, energy-recovery %. Methodology is disclosed alongside the figures. Suitable for B-Corp, BREEAM, SECR, GRESB and TCFD-aligned reporting.

Single point of contact — who would we work with?

Each portfolio FM account gets a named project lead at our end who stays consistent across the relationship. No call-centre, no ticket numbers. For larger accounts, founder Chris Cassidy is the named PoC. We will introduce the PoC by name during the quote stage so you know who is on the line from day one.

Why sell to us

Three reasons.
That's it.

We've spent fifteen years buying chairs and clearing offices for FM teams who needed it gone yesterday. We've sanded the friction off this process.
