Client Case Study

Manchester University

“"The effort made in delivering and installing all the new furniture in such a tight schedule was outstanding. I would like to acknowledge how helpful, amenable and supportive all the DeskCentre team have been through the entire process”. ”

Sally Hickson , Capital Project Officer

Manchester University’s latest building project incorporates SCAN – a drum-shaped landmark building designed by John McAslan and Partners which will house the School of Nursing, Midwifery and Social Work. The building is the Universities largest project to date, and after months of rigorous negotiations DeskCentre were awarded the contract to supply all the furniture from Offices and Breakout areas to the Restaurant and Meeting rooms.
