Horizon Primary School in Kent has been created from the amalgamation of Birchwood and White Oak schools and head teacher Colin Heatley was keen that the new school should have a high impact on its opening. This was to be achieved through a combination of re-decorating and new furniture.
"The furniture needed to be flexible, of high quality and have a ‘wow' factor," Mr Heatley explained. "We settled on Kinnarps because it gave us all three. This proved to be an excellent decision and the company worked closely with us on every aspect of the project. Not only were we able to see the furniture in the showroom, they also made samples available for viewing at the school," he added.
From the first contact, the Kinnarps design team developed an understanding of the school's needs and expectations, leading to an implementation plan and delivery dates. The latter were particularly important as the school had been emptied of old furniture and the new furniture had to be delivered within a tight schedule.
