12,709 Mattresses (Yes, Really)

When we say we’ve been busy, we mean it. Over the summer, our team has handled:

  • 12,709 mattresses – including 303 European-size mattresses fit for giants
  • Over 10,000 items recycled
  • 285 sofas, 323 hobs, 137 fridge freezers, and 2,861 office chairs

Every single item has been delivered, installed, and responsibly removed—sometimes after a tactical wrestle through stairwells that were clearly not designed for fridge freezers.

And it didn’t stop there. We covered 1,000+ buildings across 12 regions, ensuring workplaces and homes were properly set up, cleared out, and looked after.

Along the way, we made sure this work gave back: donating usable items, raising money for charities, and reducing waste wherever possible.

More Than Just Numbers

Behind each statistic is a story of hard work, problem-solving, and commitment to doing the right thing. 

For our clients, their people, and the environment.

Here’s to the next 12,709 mattresses (and hopefully fewer stairwells that feel like obstacle courses).
