Here are comments from just a few Lakeland Office customers:

Eden District Council – Penrith, Cumbria

The offices for the council’s Corporate and Legal Services departments were being renovated and Lakeland Office was asked to supply new office furniture. These offices included the switchboard and a reception area open to the public so these areas could not be closed during the working week. The office furniture had to be installed over a weekend.

“Just to make the task a little more difficult, we brought the date for the re-decoration forward but Lakeland Office still managed to provide a fantastic service. They delivered the new furniture on a Friday then, over the weekend, they removed the old furniture, assembled and installed the new furniture, and returned all the computer workstations and personal belongings to the appropriate desks. By Monday morning, we were fully operational again.” – Christine Johnson, Corporate Services Manager, Eden District Council.

WA Developments Ltd – Appleby, Cumbria

WA Developments was established in 1993 and over the last few years has been increasingly focusing on major projects for the rail industry. The company began purchasing office supplies from Lakeland Office in 2003, when they found that Lakeland could be competitive on price with major national suppliers.

“We were pleasantly surprised to find that a local supplier could not only offer extremely competitive prices but also provide a very fast response to our requirements. Our orders are generally delivered before 9.00 a.m. on the day after we place the order – and we sometimes receive the goods on the same day just a few hours after ordering! We would have no hesitation recommending Lakeland Office to other Cumbrian businesses seeking a local supplier of office supplies and equipment.” - Mike Robinson, Purchasing Manager, WA Developments Ltd.

HMB Alliance (a joint venture of Harbour & General, Morgan Est and Barhale) - Preston, Lancashire

HMB Alliance is a joint venture of three businesses operating as a contractor to United Utilities and completing major civil engineering projects. Over a three year period, the business purchased stationery, photocopiers and business equipment to a value of over £350,000 from Lakeland Office, for use in 25 sites ranging from Carlisle in the north to Chorley in the south.

“Lakeland Office delivered the service we needed. In addition to having the right equipment, they organised the leasing deal to finance this substantial level of purchases. And the service didn’t stop when the equipment had been delivered – they provided support across all our sites to keep the machines working.” - Simon Cartin, Project Accountant, HMB Alliance.
