Amaryllis' direction is driven by creative thinking and understanding – What is the customer wanting to achieve? Are there inefficiencies to be eliminated? How can we offer better value? How can we manage risk? Would an alternative financial model provide a more attractive proposition?

We would never assume that today is going to be the same as tomorrow. We strive to maintain a competitive edge to stay one step ahead. Similarly, we ensure our customers benefit from this philosophy through mutually beneficial incentives such as performance measurement and 'gain share'.

Amaryllis Groups

Accepting cost and currency fluctuation risks, Amaryllis operates a nationwide warehousing and delivery infrastructure enabling customers to ‘call off’ on an ‘as required’ basis.

1,000 custom made tables including two that weighed over half a ton

Benchmarking and Value Engineering
We regularly undertake price benchmarking exercises to demonstrate achievement of ‘Best Value’.

Working with the client, we can analyse needs, requirements, useage patterns, product design, lifecycle implications to propose cost saving opportunities. For example, the redesign of a screen bracket on a 1,000 workstation project saved over £40,000 in installation costs.

Alternative Pricing
We like to be different! Through understanding the requirement, we can develop pricing proposals to offer ‘best value’ –such as ‘Buy Back’ of existing assets or supplied products at the end of the required period; long term rental rather than purchase.

Major Projects: Specification and Lifecycle Modelling
Our teams regularly develop complete solutions for new builds and major projects including interior design and planning, room by room data sheets with product specification and bill of quantities through to consolidation of deliveries and installation.

Product Design
The technical team includes qualified technical and engineering designers who participate in FIRA Industry Standards Committees. 

British Furniture Group

British Furniture Group

Amaryllis has also established the British Furniture Group – a consortium of major British office and contract furniture manufacturers – enabling us to offer ‘Best Value’ furniture solutions without the conventional ‘margin on margin’ approach.

We audit all processes – internal and external – to comply with ISO 14001 including waste management as well as legal compliance including WEEE Directive.

Sustainability Programmes
We develop complete companywide sustainability programmes covering reuse, remanufacturing, recycling and environmental disposal. Our award winning approach aims to maximise the useful life of all assets.

Having established our specialist Environmental Services operation in 2005, our approach has been independently recognised as truly innovative and groundbreaking.

Amaryllis has a strategic partnership with the Furniture Reuse Network (a network of not for profit, charitable organisations promoting the reuse of unwanted furniture and house appliances for the alleviation of hardship, distress and poverty) together with association of many other charities and voluntary organisations allowing us to identify opportunities for reuse through donation.

Part Exchange, Green Credits and Resale Gain Share Services
As part of our environmental initiatives, we offer part exchange and resale services.
Part Exchange -  reduced prices for new products based on ‘part exchange’ of an old item.
‘Green Credits’ - a financial credit applied to a disposal quotation for the reuse potential for particular items.
Resale Gain Share - The ‘gain share’ scheme offers clients 80% payback for the profits generated from the sale of surplus assets

Remanufacturing
Our interior design and technical design capabilities mean that we can propose innovative solutions to extend the life of a range of products. We can remanufacture a workstation, for example, to become a different shape and / or size. Alternatively, respraying the metal work and application of new finishes and worktops can completely transform and modernise the visual appearance.

We have developed remanufacturing solution for an entire workplace – at a fraction of the cost of new and considerably more environmentally aware.

We offer customer specific solutions and we have also developed our own range of remanufactured products which are remarketed under our ‘Renewed’ brand.

All remanufactured products are fully warranted and guaranteed.

Recycling and Environmental Disposal
Unlike many market players who simply act as a ‘middle man’, we operate our own recycling centre. Certificated to ISO 14001, we welcome visitors to come and view demanufacturing process .

With the recycling centre, we breakdown products that are beyond economic reuse into component form in preparation for recycling of the raw materials or reuse of reuseable components. For example, we retain a full range of items, such as castors, arms, etc. for use for repairs and renovation work.

We operate a complete audit trail – from collection to disposal – to ensure environmental compliance.
