The new TPS Office Furniture showroom has officially launched following the incorporation of the company into the APSS Group.
More than 100 businesspeople from across the East Midlands, as well as local dignitaries including the Mayor of Lincoln Biff Bean attended the Gin and Jazz themed event with gin tasting provided by the team from Bainland Lodge Retreats and live music by saxophonist Ben Lester.
The team provided tours of the new showroom, which featured a range of off the shelf office furniture mixed with bespoke joinery made onsite at the groups head office in Lincoln. A specialised chair wall display proudly showcases a range of different options and a dedicated fabrics wall allows customers to choose the finishing touches to their furniture.
Other highlights include the latest in workplace technology, including acoustic ceiling rafts designed to reduce reverberation and echo, touch screen TVs and angled tables for Zoom meeting rooms so everyone can be seen on camera.
A beech-hut-themed meeting pod and relaxed space is featured within the office space with a halo light – providing the option for an open or closed meeting space.
Laurence Barrass, Managing Director at APSS Group said: “The new showroom represents a significant investment and provides the perfect space to demonstrate what’s new in contemporary office design and space planning. This includes how technology can easily be incorporated into the workspace as an integral part of the design.
“The team was very excited and proud to showcase our expanded range of products and services. Over the past 25 years, we have evolved from providing office partitions and storage systems to offering a complete design and fit-out service.”
“We really enjoyed showing our valued customers and suppliers around our Lincoln headquarters.”
Benedict Heaver, Managing Director at Streets Heaver, was in attendance and he said: “The showroom looks great and the benefit of seeing it first-hand is that it provides inspiration on what’s possible for contemporary workspaces.
“The VR room provides an enhanced experience as it allows you to really visualise how a space will look and feel. The halo lights, fabric swatches and furniture displays are a great addition to the showroom and impressive for those visiting for the first time.”
Laurence added: “As the group embarks on this exciting new chapter, it remains committed to keeping innovation, quality, and customer satisfaction at the forefront of the business. Our new showroom is testament to our commitment to transforming environments and enriching lives through exceptional design.
