Sustainability-Led Workspace Delivery:
A Sustainable Turnkey Furniture Solution for DPD UK

Project Overview

Deliver a fully furnished, operational workspace aligned with the organisation’s sustainability commitments, without compromising on quality, speed or budget.

As part of the project, we carried out a detailed sustainability benchmarking exercise across several furniture manufacturers, comparing recycled content, certifications and lifecycle performance to inform the final specification. We then supplied and installed furniture across the warehouse, office and breakout areas, delivering a complete turnkey package within a tight programme that included the Christmas manufacturing shutdown period.

The Challenge

  • Tight 2-month project

  • Coordination with other contractors on site

  • Delivering fully installed solutions before operational go-live

  • Ensuring every product met strict sustainability credentials

  • Maintaining cost control at scale across a 58,000 sq ft facility

This required strong project management, supply chain coordination, and proactive value engineering.

The TOIG Solution:

We provided complete project management from specification refinement through to final installation, coordinating:

  • Furniture supply (Gresham, Senator, Edit Office UK, Koala Acoustic, Bisley)

  • Bespoke joinery and countertop installations

  • Fitted storage walls

  • Blinds across the entire site

  • Installation and contractor scheduling

This single-point-of-contact approach ensured streamlined communication, faster decision-making, and programme control throughout.

Sustainability-Led Specification

We proposed more sustainable product alternatives than the existing specification, ensuring:

  • High recycled content materials

  • Fully recyclable components

  • UK-manufactured products

  • Long lifecycle, durable furniture to reduce replacement cycles

DPD selected all recommended furniture solutions. To promote transparency and engagement, we created bespoke QR codes that were printed and applied to each product, allowing staff to scan items and discover the product’s sustainability credentials.

Additional Sustainable Features

The Sutton Chair was proposed to DPD for its strong sustainability credentials, featuring 30% post-industrial recycled polypropylene and being 100% recyclable. Backed by a 20-year warranty, it provides a durable, long-term seating solution that reduces the need for replacement.

We proposed bespoke DPD logo desk-end panels made from recycled plastic bottles

To further embed sustainability into the culture of the space, TOIG created QR codes positioned across the site, enabling staff and visitors to learn about the environmental credentials of operator chairs, desks and other furniture selections. This transformed sustainability from a procurement decision into an ongoing engagement tool.

“Their attention to detail, creativity, and genuine understanding of our operational needs made the whole process seamless.”

"Working with Vicky and her team has been an absolute pleasure from start to finish.

What really stood out was their proactive approach in offering more sustainable alternatives without compromising on quality or design, alongside a very hands on service throughout the entire project.

They delivered a workspace solution that not only looks fantastic but also supports our teams day to day operations. Communication was clear throughout, timelines were met, and nothing ever felt like too much trouble.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to any organisation looking for a professional, reliable partner who truly cares about the quality of their work and their client relationships.“
