In our continued efforts to reduce our impact on the environment we are stopping the manual cleaning of metalwork before powder-coating takes place, and replacing with an automated water pre-wash. The old method which uses dichloromethane, toxic to humans and the environment, is replaced with a bio-friendly alternative that’s safe enough to wash down the drain.

The new in-line pre-wash system is up and running one week earlier than scheduled meaning any affected orders can now be powder-coated and delivered over the next few days. Please contact the sales office for more information.

As part of our continued investment we are proud to announce we now have a brand new robot welder which will increase our metalwork capacity by 60%. Capable of automatically welding up to 400 desk legs per day with CNC precision, the new welder will be up and running by the end of September and complement our new tube laser arriving at the end of 2020.

Due to a continued drop in sales we have made the decision to discontinue our Modena range effective immediately. For advice on alternative ranges please contact our sales team on 01430 861229.

This year, instead of sending gifts out to our customers, we are donating to local charities. Last week we spent an afternoon filling a trolley with toys to donate to Viking FM's Cash for Kids #missionchristmas toy appeal. Cash for Kids is wonderful organisation dedicated to supporting sick, disabled and disadvantaged children through grant and gift giving.

We're also donating to Barnardo's, their continued dedication and hard work has helped hundreds of thousands of children grow up happy and healthy.

You can also help to support local disadvantaged children at the risk of waking up to nothing on Christmas day. Find your nearest gift drop off point at: www.vikingfm.co.uk/mission or visit www.barnardos.org.uk/ for more information on how to donate.

We will be closed for the Christmas period between 24th of December until the 2nd of January.

We won't be making deliveries over this period, for information on cut off points and delivery dates please contact our sales team on 01430 861229. Similarly, if you are not accepting deliveries in the final week before Christmas or the first week back, please let us know.

PIEZO technology is a must for preventing your desk from suffering material damage as a result of colliding with solid objects. You can now have the same anti-collision technology you'd find on our Gravity height adjustable desks, on both the Aerial and Evo desk due to the Desk Sensor 1 developed by LINAK. The external sensor can be fitted to any desk that has a LINAK lifting column; it is supplied with a dual adapter as standard.

Our Gravity height adjustable desks will now be supplied with premium controllers as standard. Light up functions can also be programmed alongside the desk control software to provide reminders when it's time to stand.

We will soon be offering a more elegant alternative to our edged screens. These fully upholstered screens will be available in all standard shapes and heights in a wide range of fabrics.
