Contract furnishings specialist Knightsbridge Furniture is out on the road, thanks to the company’s smart new mobile show-room, which was unveiled in time for the New Year.
‘Although selecting high performance contract furniture is still very much a hands-on experience, we recognise that not everyone has the time to come to the show-room at our Bradford headquarters,’ explains Knightsbridge Furniture Managing Director Alan Towns. ‘So we’re taking the show-room out to our customers!’
Intended to present Knightsbridge collections of contract seating and occasional furniture in the most client-convenient manner possible, the liveried Mercedes-Benz Atego truck can display up to 20 items of furniture in its cavernous 50ft trailer - from upholstered seating and upright chairs to dining tables and bedroom cabinets.
Models are selected for each visit according to customer requirements, with options including products for nursing homes and healthcare environments, residential facilities and the hospitality sector.
Behind the wheel is experienced HGV driver Chris Mann, who promises to manoeuvre the vehicle into even the tightest car parks to enable new and existing customers to explore the company’s latest collections ‘in the flesh’. Refreshment facilities are on board, as are extensive literature stocks covering all Knightsbridge divisions.
Knightsbridge Furniture’s roadshow starts a rolling programme of visits to buyers, specifiers and end-users around the UK early in 2014.
