Form seating replaces hospital's ageing chairs

Nottingham City Primary Care Trust has purchased a number of Form Seating Core operator chairs for the hospital's office and meeting-room areas.

Much of the facilities management function at the hospital is in the hands of specialist contractor Integral; its resident manager, Nigel Woollen, needed to replace 100 ageing and worn chairs throughout the office and meeting-room areas.

An assessment process was carried out and the Form Seating Core brand from Status and Form Seating was chosen via Emma Cross at the specialist public sector dealership Emergent Crown Contracts.

'It was crucial to meet the criteria of staff health and safety as well as value for money and the Form option has literally delivered on all counts, especially as the higher back and wider frame makes it more comfortable and versatile across all departments and functions, with uniform praise from our people,' said Woollen.

The Form Seating Core operator 191/1 model is tested to BS5459 for office furniture performance requirements, which allows for weight up to 150kg.

It is finished in a blue Camira fabric and features full integrated adjustability for back height and defined back lumber support, with operational pictograms on the heavy-duty mechanism handles.
