Rising Costs, Challenging Markets
The Reality: Costs Are Rising Everywhere
Across the UK, businesses are facing a perfect storm of rising costs. From increased manufacturing prices and raw materials to higher logistics, fuel, and labour costs — the pressure is being felt across every industry.
Office furniture is no exception.
Steel, wood, fabrics, and transport have all seen significant increases over the past few years. Add to that longer supply chains and global uncertainty, and it’s clear: delivering quality office furniture is more complex — and more expensive — than ever before.
For many businesses, the natural reaction is to cut costs.
But at That’s My Office, we’ve taken a different approach.
The Easy Option vs The Right Option
It would be easy to:
- Reduce service levels
- Cut corners on delivery
- Switch to lower-quality products
- Remove installation support
- Pass every cost increase directly to customers
But that’s not how we operate.
We believe that when times are tough, service matters more — not less.
Why We Refuse to Compromise on Service
Office furniture isn’t just about desks and chairs. It’s about:
- How your team works
- How productive your workspace is
- How your business presents itself
- How comfortable and supported your people feel
A poor experience — delayed deliveries, missing parts, poor installation — costs far more in the long run than doing it right the first time.
That’s why we continue to deliver:
✔ Full Project Support
From 5 desks to 500+, we manage projects with the same level of detail and professionalism.
✔ Delivery to Place of Use
Not just “kerbside drop-offs” — we deliver, position, and remove packaging.
✔ Installation You Can Rely On
Experienced teams who ensure everything is assembled correctly and ready to use.
✔ Honest, Transparent Pricing
No inflated margins, no hidden surprises — just fair pricing for quality products and service.
Supporting Businesses When They Need It Most
We understand that businesses are under pressure.
That’s why we actively look for ways to reduce overall project costs without reducing quality, including:
- Re-using existing desk tops with new height-adjustable frames
- Offering flexible product options to suit different budgets
- Providing expert advice to avoid costly mistakes
- Supporting phased installations to spread spend
It’s not about selling more — it’s about delivering smarter solutions.
Technology That Adds Value (Not Cost)
While costs are rising, we continue to invest in tools that improve your buying experience:
- 360° Product Views – See exactly what you’re buying
- Augmented Reality (AR) – Visualise furniture in your space
- Downloadable 3D Files (GLB, OBJ, STL) – Plan your office with precision
These aren’t gimmicks — they reduce risk, improve decision-making, and ultimately save time and money.
Long-Term Thinking in a Short-Term World
Many suppliers are reacting to market pressure by focusing on short-term gains.
We’re focused on long-term relationships.
That means:
- Delivering what we promise
- Supporting customers beyond the sale
- Building trust through consistency
- Being a partner, not just a supplier
The Bottom Line
Yes — costs are rising.
Yes — the market is challenging.
But our commitment hasn’t changed.
At That’s My Office, we believe that service, professionalism, and reliability are non-negotiable — especially when businesses need them most.
