The growth in office furniture and fit-outs among independent dealers has been underlined by a growing contingent of hardware suppliers at recent trade shows.

 

A plethora of chairs, sit/stand desks, modular units and accessories was in abundance at last weekend’s Office Brands expo in Adelaide thanks to the support of several suppliers and brands, namely DAL Brands/Conset, Dynamic Supplies, FurnX, Visionchart and YS Designs.

 

Office Brands presented its supplier of the year award to Dynamic Supplies, which has been steadily building its furniture portfolio through acquisition, while the runner-up award went to FurnX.

 

At the gala dinner, the Office Brands group support award from the merchandise team was presented to DAL Brands.

 

Office Brands members reported an 8.6 per cent increase in furniture sales over the past year.
