Portsdown

The NEW Vitra ID operator chair with a revolutionary design is now available from Portsdown. Health and biomechanics – The patented technology behind the ID Chair caters to healthy, comfortable seating. The synchronous mechanism “FlowMotion” supports users according to their personal weight – but not just when they are leaning back in their chair: The so-called negative tilt feature straightens the spine when sitting forward on the edge of the seat, thereby taking the strain off of it. The ID Chair enables a dynamic range of motion and provides support with individual resistance when tilting both backwards and forwards. Please login to request a Vitra ID chair brochure.

Portsdown’s Sales Director, Peter Crompton, is delighted to be included on a three year Framework contract to supply Office Furniture to Hampshire County Council. Following a rigorous tender Portsdown have been selected as one of the suppliers for Contract, Mid Range and Executive product to the Council, a member of the CBC buying consortium. “This contract will enable us to continue supplying HCC and local government clients across the South of England and we are delighted to of been selected. Our staff work extremely hard to give excellent service and remain competitive in a tough market, so this is a great reward, gratefully recieved.”

The PSV is a ground breaking partnership between Havant Borough Council and Hampshire County Council. It will save money and transform service delivery by bringing together a range of public and voluntary services in one location.  Our expert knowledge and flexible working furniture has enabled us to win the contract to supply office seating, flexible working benches, meeting tables, and storage.

After refurbishment, the building will be able to accommodate the relocation of over 250 social care staff and other front line staff from Hampshire County Council, in addition to the 420 mainly Havant Borough Council employees based in the building, allowing other Hampshire County Council buildings to be sold. This is because the refurbishment will improve use of space and technology, and takes advantage of the fact that not all staff will use the building at the same time. Many services involve a lot of time spent working out in the community. The refurbishment will also make the building even more energy efficient with reduced running costs and a lower carbon footprint.

The new Hampshire Constabulary building has been handed over complete and ready for occupation. Following a competitive tender process Portsdown working in partnership Triumph won the contract in November to deliver all the loose furniture requirements to the new 8 storey landmark building. Custody suites, offices and meeting rooms were furnished with Triumphs new furniture ranges along with Boss seating, all installed by Portsdown’s professional fitting team in December and January.
