Bisley often uses the phrase that its furniture is ‘Made for Life’, and while that is true of its products, the company also take the ethos into its manufacturing processes and company culture. At its UK-based manufacturing facility, all process waste, including steel and wood offcuts is captured and segregated for appropriate disposal or recycling. Steel offcuts and scrap material are collected and processed for reintegration into the steel manufacturing process and its wood waste can in some cases be repurposed internally to produce pallets, or captured and collected for energy production through incineration. Cardboard and plastic wrap waste from input materials and components are collected and baled onsite then sold back to Bisley’s packaging suppliers. Revenues generated through these initiatives are then fed into Bisley’s charitable donation fund, which support a variety of local causes.
In the last 12 months Bisley has made big strides in diversifying from a traditional steel storage supplier and manufacturer to becoming a consumer and household brand. Bisley has also rebranded itself aesthetically through the creation and launch of a Bisley Shop e-commerce site and operationally, to successfully attract a new audience, the consumer.
