GreenWorks is dedicated to helping the environment by diverting large quantities of redundant office and educational furniture from landfill with the prime aim of ‘re-use’. As part of the London Re-use Network which is made up of local charities and not for profit organizations that work together to deliver reuse and repair services, GreenWorks collects from very large office blocks to single office suites and provides second hand quality re-use furniture to charities, community and educational groups and small business via the network.

New Franchise Partner - SOFA Office, Bristol

20 August 2010

Green-Works is excited to announce a new partner joining the business enhancing our national coverage into the West of England.

SOFA already operate an award winning charity that has helped hundreds of families over the past SOFA Project Bristol was founded in 1982 as the ‘Shifting Old Furniture Around’ Project. What started as one man and a van has now grown to a large shop supported by 8 lorries and vans, a workshop, two warehouses and 20 staff capable of collecting and delivering all over the Bristol and Avon area.

SOFA’s charitable objective was set as supplying second hand furniture, household goods and domestic electrical appliances to people in conditions of need by sourcing items from community donors. In time this has expanded to include graded items sourced from manufacturers and retailers and these are now attracting people looking to buy more ‘smartly’ for their home refurbishments.

Now SOFA have extended their fantastic reuse option to join forces with the No 1 Office furniture reuse company Green-Works established in 2000. Watch this space for offical launch dates or contact John Fleming on 07921 211653 for more details.
