Dealerward was established in 1986. It was a private
limited company initially established to provide an installation
service for dealer desk producers. It was run in conjunction
with an existing furniture manufacturing business controlled
by the same management team.
With Dealerward’s introduction
onto the trading floors of large corporate financial institutions
the business was led into further areas of work. These included;
the manufacture of trading desks; the provision of quality
veneered furniture to executive and ‘front of house’
areas for the same customers; the supply of command and
control positions for public sector clients, mainly the
emergency services.
As the business grew it formed relationships
with specialist manufactures, until a partnership was formed
with a production base in Germany. At our address in North
Wiltshire are the design and administration offices and
the prototyping workshop. In Corsham, 3 miles away, is our
industrial unit for storage, assembly
and production. Full production of timber based parts takes
place in our partner’s factory in Germany and other
specialist components are engineered by different suppliers
throughout the UK. All contracts undertaken by Dealerward
start and finish with our own staff, there’s no sub-contracting
of the installation of completed furniture.
Although most of the contracts are
London based, Dealerward has worked through out the UK.
A three year commission from the Maritime Coastguard Agency
involved us supplying furniture to the absolute edges of
the UK. Other contracts have taken the business to all parts
of Europe as well as Asia and North America. Our site staff
have worked in areas where security has been of the utmost
importance and the deadlines critical.
Dealerward does not have product
lines, it is a bespoke provider. It designs, manufactures
and installs specialist furniture and joinery items to a
brief provided by the client. It has considerable experience
making pieces that involve the inclusion of other services,
especially IT and AV equipment.
As a result of its work in control
rooms and on trading floors, Dealerward can offer valuable
ergonomic and anthropometrical advice at the design stage
of commissions.
The company's contracts with large
corporate clients have provided us with considerable experience
of the making of quality products in quantity which can
be relied upon by all potencial clients.
The business has grown steadily over
the years but it still remains a private limited concern
with no controlling parent company.
