The Witley Jones Approach to School Furniture manufacturing

School furniture manufacturing process

Choosing the right furniture partner can make a huge difference in delivering a project on time, on budget, and to a high standard.

At Witley Jones Furniture, our tailored approach goes far beyond simply manufacturing and supplying school furniture. We support our clients at every stage of the process – from initial concept to installation and beyond – all with service, flexibility, and quality at the core at with no additional costs.

Free Design Consultation and Survey

Every project begins with a no-obligation consultation and site survey, provided free of charge. We believe that the best outcomes are achieved through early collaboration and a thorough understanding of your vision, needs, and space.

Our team will visit your school, listen to your requirements, and offer guidance based on years of experience in educational furniture design and fit-out.

Bespoke Design with no Hidden Fees

Following the initial consultation, our in-house drawing office works closely with you to develop a bespoke design of furniture and room layout.

Whether you’re refurbishing a science laboratory, library, or boarding accommodation, every design is tailored specifically to your school’s requirements.

We don’t charge additional design fees – it’s all part of the comprehensive service we offer. This ensures transparency and provides confidence from the outset that you’re working with a partner who values the integrity of the process as much as the final product.

In addition, all our quotations are itemised, allowing us to find a tailored solution to suit your budget.

Manufactured In-House

We manufacture all furniture at our production and warehousing facility in Worcestershire. We are proud that 100% of our furniture is made in Britain, giving us full control over quality, production timelines, and delivery logistics – and allows us to respond quickly if things change, or if replacement parts for previously supplied furniture are required.

This year alone, we have invested in a significant six figure sum as part of our commitment to offering schools the best possible solutions. A new edgebander, beam saw and vertical drilling machine have been added to our extensive compliment of plant – as well as increasing efficiency and production capacity, this has opened up a much larger range of finishes that we can offer.

End-to-End Project Management

Once the project is underway, we continue to support you with free project management services. We liaise with your team and contractors to ensure our element of the scheme runs smoothly, helping to avoid delays or last-minute issues. By managing our part of the programme, we take a proactive approach to ensure furniture is installed on time, with minimal disruption and single point of contact.

Stress-Free Installation

Our dedicated in-house installation teams are used to working to tight deadlines and in live school environments. We take care of delivery, carry-in, and installation – freeing up your estates team and reducing stress during an already busy time.

Every detail is handled with care, ensuring the finished result is exactly as promised.

Aftercare and Long-Term Support

Many of our clients have worked with us for decades, returning year after year because they trust in our service, products, and people. Whether you need follow-up support, additional items, or advice on future projects, we’re here for the long term.
