new desk for company sec

[CR0X]

our company sec needs a new desk and whilst he would be happy with a cheap as chips desk, I want to spend a little bit more on a desk that looks nice, and is functional.

I guess budget is about £300.

Any thoughts?

TBH £300 won't get anything other than a basic, standard solid desk which won't fall apart if you're buying new.

The link above (and other similar companies) are probably your best bet for something a little better.

Yup, £300 buys nothing if you want new. We've had some cracking kit from Want Don't Want (www.wantdontwant.co.uk) before, for peanuts.

Secretaries are meant to spend most of their time on their knees.
Get her some of these:

If you want to support recycling, try Green Works, a not-for-profit organisation offering recycled office furniture. Good cause and, sometimes, good stuff.

Second to WantDontWant. Some very good deals to be had there, if you choose carefully.

Every so often, something comes up on eBay. But my experience is that, whereas 6-7 years ago, there were sellers, now they've given up since the good-quality stuff never makes any real money. Good if you're a buyer (I once kitted out a 20-desk call centre for £200 including van hire with top-quality furniture from a redundant BT call centre), but poor for sellers - so they've given up offering on there!

If you're a plc, you still need one. Many companies still find value to them. Just because they're optional doesn't mean they're redundant!
