Quick adjustment of tables and chairs
THE PRISON in Horsens offers a raw and authentic setting for meetings, conferences and parties. But the same framework also presents challenges when furniture has to be purchased for the rapidly expanding activities.
We have a very special challenge, because our tables and chairs have to be transported over long distances and over different coverings of tiles and cobblestones. This places great demands on transport vehicles and wheels, says conference manager Charlotte Ørnsvig.
As soon as we had contacted Zederkof, they came out and looked at the conditions out here. It is this kind of commitment that allows us to find the right solutions together.
With a good knowledge of the place, Zederkof was able to advise the PRISON and give competent sparring about which carts and wheels would be best suited for the daily transport of the furniture. Zederkof also helped find chairs that take up as little space as possible when stacked for storage.
Zederkof never just delivers an off-the-shelf product. They enter into an open dialogue and adapt the solution to our needs. And because they familiarize themselves with our business, they also see needs that we haven't even been aware of ourselves. They are genuinely interested in us getting the best solution.
Fast delivery gives peace of mind
Although the activities at the PRISON and in the conference department have developed much faster than expected, Zederkof has always been able to keep up.
Things are going fast here, and suddenly we needed a lot more furniture than we had originally anticipated. But it was no problem, because Zederkof were capable of delivery. It gives great reassurance that we can always count on fast and efficient service. Especially because we are developing a lot, and our needs are constantly changing, emphasizes Charlotte Ørnsvig.
Rent or own?
As the PRISON has expanded its activities, the big question has been whether to hire furniture for conferences and parties etc.
For a company like ours, it has been obvious to assess whether it is best to buy or rent such a large number of furniture. And thanks to Zederkof's delivery reliability, the quality of their furniture and, not least, the possibility to purchase spare parts so that we can repair ourselves, we are sure that in the long run it pays best for us to own our furniture. This gives us greater flexibility. And we have confidence that Zederkof can supply the furniture we have chosen for many years to come.
