LOF Office Furniture

What LOF Office Furniture does

LOF Office Furniture, trading since 1973 under The LOF Group Ltd, is a UK-based, family-run supplier of new and pre-owned commercial office furniture operating from a Peterborough showroom and a Wisbech warehouse. Its core offering is refurbished seating, desking, storage, tables, screens, reception furniture, and acoustic pods and booths drawn from premium commercial brands including Herman Miller, Steelcase, Orangebox, Senator, and Vitra; items undergo an in-house refurbishment process (component servicing, professional cleaning, fabric repairs, arm pad replacement) and carry a 12-month parts warranty. The company is ISO 9001 and ISO 14001:2015 certified and BS 7176 / CRIB 5 compliant on upholstered products.

Revenue is generated through four streams: one-time sales of used and new office furniture, recurring furniture lease hire, and professional delivery/installation services. Pricing spans roughly £20 to £1,975+ per item with bulk discounts and claimed savings of up to 78% versus new RRP. The go-to-market is hybrid: a WooCommerce-based e-commerce storefront with real-time inventory handles transactional SMB and home-worker purchases, while a direct sales team (phone, email) handles enterprise refits, complete office fit-outs, and bulk orders; physical showrooms and warehouse collection points supplement the digital channel, and a partnership with UK office removals specialists extends the offering into relocation services. Named customers include NHS, Whirlpool, Willmott Dixon, Costain, University of Leeds, and P&O Ferries, with at least 40 corporate clients cited in total.

Service-area geography is restricted to mainland UK excluding the West Country, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. The business remains privately held by the founding family, with no disclosed institutional investment, funding rounds, or M&A activity. Recent strategic activity centers on a Commercial Director appointment to lead the launch of the 'Shh:d' acoustic brand and to extend service lines into space planning, fit-out, relocations, leasing, and part-exchange.

Broad incumbents

• Steelcase: Premium global office furniture manufacturer whose products LOF resells second-hand; competes with LOF in the primary office furniture market while providing the supply of used premium furniture that underpins LOF's value proposition.
• Haworth: Global premium office furniture manufacturer with comparable product categories (seating, desking, storage, systems furniture) to LOF's range; operates primarily in the primary market but competes for the same enterprise fit-out budgets that LOF serves via refurbished channels.
• Herman Miller: Premium global office furniture manufacturer (now MillerKnoll) whose products LOF resells as refurbished; the brand is both a supplier source and a direct competitor in the new office furniture primary market for enterprise customers.
• Office Depot UK: Major UK office supplies and furniture retailer offering new office furniture alongside stationery, technology, and consumables; broader catalog and scale advantage versus LOF, but does not specialize in the used/refurbished niche.
• Viking Direct: Established UK office supplies distributor (now part of The ODP Corporation) carrying office furniture among broader categories; competes with LOF for SMB and corporate office furniture spend but lacks the refurbished specialization.

Direct peers

• Boffo: UK office furniture reseller with new, used, and clearance ranges targeting businesses seeking cost-effective office fit-outs; competes directly with LOF in the budget-to-mid-tier office furniture segment with similar bulk and refurbishment services.
• Office Resale: UK-based supplier of used and refurbished office furniture offering similar product categories (chairs, desks, storage, boardroom tables) to LOF, serving the same SMB and corporate customer segments with a comparable online plus showroom model.

Others

• IKEA (IKEA for Business): Global mass-market furniture retailer with a growing business-focused segment (IKEA for Business) selling new office and home office furniture; competes on price and design accessibility but does not serve the premium-brand refurbished niche LOF occupies.

Emerging players

• Warp It: UK-based reuse and rehome platform connecting organizations that want to redistribute surplus office furniture; represents an emerging circular economy model that overlaps with LOF's part-exchange and used furniture value proposition.
