Office transitions are a lot of work - how can you help us?
Office transitions are a lot of work - how can you help us?
George Walkers have worked with thousands of corporate NZ companies helping them choose the most sustainable option for them whether moving/expanding or liquidating.
We find that ex-corporate office furniture is the best quality and has often stood the test of time. Often the furniture is almost new but an office lease has expired and the cost of having down time while moving desks to new premises is too much – so a new office is set up and staff are moved straight over with no need to close operations.
Sometimes furniture in one place doesn’t work with the design or layout of the new premises etc. We can blend new furniture with ex-corporate to even further reduce the costs.
With all of this in mind, we can work closely with your team to understand your needs, wants and desires, help you create a custom made floor plan, and then arrange all of the items you need.
We can then arrange delivery and set up when you need it. All while making sure that we have a great partnership to make this transition as easy for you as possible.

We sell to over 3000 NZ companies per year; over 7000 items; 5000 CUBIC METERS that does not reach land fill! On top of this over 2000 further cubic meters is donated to the community.
Carriers remove from the site and deliver to our store in Rosebank Rd - what we will pay for furniture is determined by age and degree of labour for removal (when removal costs are too great, the client pays for the removal and GW pays a contribution to help). This is a sustainable service we stand by to help our customers in their transition, as often TIME is the main issue.

George Walkers refurbish, recover and redesign much of the furniture. Partitions are a specialty - the cost of new partitioning can be tens of thousands of dollars - one new partition can cost well over $500 where ours start at $80. We refurbish the best quality chairs. Often the mechanism are fully functioning and just the chair fabric is faded. A new Spectrum 3 chair is over $500, we sell them refurbished for around $275 - we also have a large array of alternative chairs from $50.
