School furniture procurement – useful search terms

By Jamie Lewis Ledger on 11 July 2011, 11:19am | Facilities Management

Before the days of the internet, suppliers provided customers with large printed catalogues targeted through print advertising and mailouts. Thankfully, those days are long gone (expensive and wasteful) and suppliers can access any market.

Traditional Conference furniture manufacturers can now supply quality furniture to Schools and Colleges at far lower prices than traditional education suppliers. Competition is the key, and traditional suppliers have been exploiting this lack of competition for decades.

Rather than opening the old catalogue, why not tap a few useful search terms into Google?

  • Plastic stacking chairs
  • Poly / polypropylene stacking chairs
  • Steel frame tables
  • Stacking tables
  • Fully-welded tables
  • Screens and presentation
  • Children's chairs
  • Children's tables

You will find a far greater range of furniture from some fantastic factories. The prices will be significantly lower and most suppliers will offer excellent advice.

It’s likely that the same is true across all areas of procurement. We know teachers don’t want to waste time away from teaching and form filling, but we also know that real money can be saved. Those bulky old catalogue suppliers continue to take advantage of teacher’s time constraints; it’s our education system, it’s our children’s futures – money is tight enough – search!
