Deanestor has announced it has been accredited by Made in Britain. This organisation is committed to helping the Great British trade market for companies who are proud to present their British-made products.
We are passionate about the benefits of specifying products manufactured here in the UK. And there are concerns about furniture procurement where items with a relatively short life cycle – and therefore low cost – and are shipped across the world generating carbon emissions.
All Deanestor's furniture solutions are manufactured and assembled at our factory in Mansfield and our cabinetry products use strong glue and dowel constructions. These have significantly improved life cycle costing compared to cheaper flat-pack alternatives – whether for schools, build-to-rent, student accommodation or hospital furniture.
A UK manufacturer should also have a more detailed understanding of the UK market to inform and add value to the furniture specification and choice of materials to minimise impact on the environment.
The ESG issue will continue to increase in importance as more corporate investors, construction clients, and occupiers become environmentally conscious about their investments and places to live, work and study.
