Bisley Environmental Policy

Our Company
Bisley realise that all manufacturing has some effect on the environment. It is our policy to make ourselves aware of this and to conduct our business, in ways designed to reduce adverse effects and maximise favourable ones.

We are signatories to the environment policy statement issued by OFMA (Office Furniture and Filing Manufactures Association) and endorse the policies therein.

Our Factories
Our two factories located at Bisley in Surrey and Newport in South Wales, are constructed from materials that conserve energy and reduce sound emissions. The factories are heated by a gas radiant system, which is computer controlled for optimum response. Air curtains, located at all large external openings that are activated automatically by doors opening, assist its effectiveness.

Our Production
Our capital investment in plant and machinery has had a major impact on the efficient production of our products; state of the art machinery has reduced waste, improved quality and increased safety. All steel off-cuts and other scrap metal is recycled and manufacturing waste bi-products disposed of by licensed contractors. We have consistently received safety awards from the British Safety Council.
