As businesses in Shropshire adjust to meeting the needs of their customers, Chrisbeon Office Supplies is helping clients adapt their homes into a current working space.
The coronavirus crisis is seeing an unprecedented number of people working from home and needing to self-educate their children, all of which requires the right surroundings and equipment.
Chrisbeon’s showrooms in Shrewsbury and Telford may be temporarily closed but the firm is still able to deliver stationery and other equipment from its extensive range to help people with remote working and learning.
Richard Hughes, of Chrisbeon, said: “Our showrooms are currently closed as we adhere to the advice and guidance of Government – but we are still working hard to meet the needs of customers as far as is possible.
“We are unable to complete our normal furniture installation service but are still currently able to carry out delivery of flat-pack furniture, including desks and chairs, and divider screens, through our courier networks.
“Many people previously set aside a room or other space at home for working – even if it was only a quiet spot in the home to set up a laptop, but the current situation means those arrangements may now be impractical with a full day’s work now needing to be done at home.
“Factor in the need for a suitable place for children to do their home learning, and it is clear you need the basics in place in order to achieve this, a desk, chair and relevant stationery.
“Having the right desk and chair is not only helpful in achieving daily tasks, they are also important in making sure you are not risking health problems in terms of posture, neck and back and so on.”
The firm is able to process orders by telephone for next-day delivery on various items including chairs, desks, general office stationery, paper, files and folders, inks and toners.
