Nobody really notices the office kitchen until the coffee runs out ☕ What's the one thing your office kitchen can never be without? 👀 #OfficeFurniture #WorkplaceWellbeing #ErgonomicDesign #ModernWorkspace #BatesOffice

An office furniture project is about more than choosing desks and chairs.  As an employee-owned business, our team has a shared interest in the long-term success of Bates Office and the relationships we build with our customers. #BatesOffice #WasteManagement #Waste
How many empty pens, dried-out markers and unwanted office supplies end up in your workplace bins every week? 🖊️ Small changes can help your workplace take a more responsible approach to waste ♻️ #Office #BusinessSupportUK #WorkplaceSolutions #OfficeExperts #UKBusiness

Forget haunted houses. We have something scarier 👀  The empty stationery cupboard.  Thankfully, these office horrors have much simpler solutions 😅 #BatesOffice #OfficeSupplies #Office #Design

You know those tiny office jobs you keep thinking, “I’ll do that later”? They have a habit of becoming tomorrow’s problem 😅 Try the two-minute rule. If something genuinely takes less than two minutes, get it out of the way there and then. #OfficeFurniture #WorkplaceWellbeing

The darker mornings and colder starts have arrived 🍂  If you have teams working outdoors, on site or moving between locations, October is a useful time to review what they have and what may need replacing.  #AboutBatesOffice #BusinessSupportUK #WorkplaceSolutions

That piece of paper might look ready for the bin, but what information is actually on it? 👀  Customer, employee and company information needs to be handled according to your organisation's secure disposal procedures.  Save this as a reminder for your next office clear-out.
What does employee ownership have to do with the way you buy office products? More than you might think 💙 Read the full blog: batesoffice.co.uk/insights/h…

It is easy for a supplier list to grow without anyone really noticing 📋  Our Tail End Management service is designed to consolidate fragmented purchasing and make that part of procurement easier to control.  #AboutBatesOffice #BusinessSupportUK #WorkplaceSolutions

You arrive tomorrow and one part of the office has had a complete upgrade 👀  Are you choosing a better desk chair, a new-look meeting room, a properly stocked office kitchen or storage that finally keeps everything organised?  You only get one. Drop your answer below 👇

Ever had a box arrive at the office and nobody knows who ordered it, where it belongs or whether anyone has checked it? 📦 Give incoming supplies one designated landing zone before they are distributed.  #EmployeeOwnership #EmployeeOwnershipTrust #PeopleFirst
One new desk here. A replacement chair there. Another meeting table squeezed into the only space left 🪑  Over time, quick fixes can leave an office feeling less like one workspace and more like a collection of individual purchases.  #AboutBatesOffice #BusinessSupportUK

Ahead of World Mental Health Day, we are thinking about something simple: the everyday experience of being at work 💙  A workplace cannot fix every challenge someone is facing, but unnecessary frustrations do not need to make the working day harder.  #OfficeFurniture

It is National Work Life Week, so here is a question worth asking: is your workplace actually making the working day easier? 💻  Sometimes it is the small things that cause the most frustration.

Working from home is a lot easier when your desk is actually set up for it 💻 It does not need to be complicated. Sometimes a few small upgrades are all it takes to make your home workspace work better for you ✨ What is the one WFH desk essential you could not go without?

Starting the day at a cluttered desk can make everything feel harder than it needs to 😅 Would a five-minute desk reset work in your office?  #OfficeFurniture #WorkplaceWellbeing #ErgonomicDesign #ModernWorkspace #BatesOffice

One brochure is slightly the wrong blue. The business cards use a different finish. The event banners have come from another supplier entirely.  Sound familiar?  🎨 Print can become inconsistent surprisingly quickly when different projects are managed in isolation.

Managing workplace supplies for one site is one thing.  Managing them across 200 locations is another📍  One of our customers moved its office supplies contract for all 200 UK locations to Bates Office, helping bring support and delivery under one partner.  #OfficeSupplies

How often do you think about your screen position once the working day starts? 👀  National Eye Health Week is a useful reminder to look at the whole workstation, from screen positioning and lighting to your chair and desk setup.  When did you last review your desk setup?
