ABOUT WARINGS

Warings Furniture Ltd is wholly owned by husband and wife team Graham and Rachael Waring, and operates from a 17-acre site in Norfolk. Our offices, manufacturing units and warehousing are all located together and enables the highest level of efficiency between all departments.

Our product range is continually expanded and all additions are visible on our website in advance of our printed literature, however, if you would like to receive hard copy brochures please communicate this via the enquiry button, or telephone our sales department.

The majority of products within our range are produced to order to clients’ specific requirements, however, we also carry a substantial stockholding of products (in excess of 3,000 pieces) that are available for immediate delivery. For further information on this please take advice from our sales team.

Warings are proud to count many of the hospitality industry’s leading operators as our valued clients, and we take great pride in offering the highest level of service to both the entrepreneurial independent restauranteur and the largest plc group businesses alike.

 

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT

 

The company has over the years successfully gathered an exceptional team of staff in every department. The combined effect of this and the fact that WARINGS Furniture is directed passionately by co-owners Graham and Rachael Waring is a major reason for its success, and without doubt gives us an edge over our competitors. The WARINGS’ way is to be as self-reliant as possible as in our experience it is reliance on third parties that hinders customer satisfaction. This has over the years lead us to develop our own capabilities in all areas including manufacturing facilities incorporating wood machining, polishing, upholstery, metalworking and component assembly, in-house IT staff and training, in-house sales staff training, logistics incorporating our own vehicles, drivers, dispatch and logistic management. The constant improvements in all these areas is the driving force behind the development of the company.

OUR HISTORY AND TIMELINE

WARINGS Furniture was originally established in 1986 by Graham Waring, originally trading as a contract furnishing business. Rachael Waring (Graham’s wife) joined the company in 1991 and the business was re-named WARINGS Furniture once the company evolved to exclusively concentrate on the manufacture and supply of furniture.

 

The core success of the company has always been down to three main objectives:

In the provision of outstanding customer service from initial contact with our office, to eventual delivery of client’s furniture. In putting an enormous amount of effort into the selection, design and manufacture of quality product that our customers and their designers are looking for, and that will withstand the heavy use that the hospitality industry inflicts on furniture. In the research of the industry that we supply; identifying new potential customers, and keeping informed of developments within our existing client portfolio
