We design the space.
Then we make it happen.

Schools, hotels, offices, homes and retail. Tell us what your space needs to do, and we'll design it, make it happen in our own factory, and fit it ourselves. One team from first sketch to final fit. Since 1991.

About Us

Most furniture companies sell you what's in the catalogue.

We design the space, then make it happen.

Since 1991 we've continually invested in our own purpose-built factory in Hartlepool, where around 80% of what we make is built in-house. Design, manufacture and installation, all under one roof, with one accountable team from first survey to final install.

That's why we're never stuck saying "that's not in the catalogue." Standard range or fully bespoke, whichever serves the space, an awkward room, a tight budget, an odd brief: there's always an answer. And because it's built to exact requirements and fits first time, it's still doing its job years from now, long after the install team has gone home.

It's the reason schools, hotels, offices and homes across the country trust us to get it right the first time, and call us again for the next refurb.

 "I have worked with Paul and Optimum on a number of projects at EDF Hartlepool Power Station, ranging from office refurbishments through to the complete refurbishment and refresh of our survey laboratories and associated rooms. Throughout these projects, Optimum have been professional, helpful, and responsive, delivering a high standard of workmanship. The quality of the furniture and design solutions provided has always been excellent, helping us create practical and modern working environments. I would have no hesitation in recommending Paul and the Optimum team."

 "We have an ongoing requirement for high quality POS & displays and I decided to try Optimum as a provider. I found the team to be very friendly and helpful and also incredibly responsive. They consistently deliver high quality displays & POS exactly as ordered and I have the peace of mind knowing that I will receive my order on time too. I highly recommend Optimum to anyone looking for POS to display their products and services."

The same hands, every sector.

The same hands that fit out a school fit out a hotel suite. That's what thirty-plus years in one factory teaches you.

  • Education — Built for the kids who test everything.

  • Hospitality — Guests won't notice the joinery. That's how you know it's right.

  • Workplace — An office that fits the work, not the other way round.

  • Domestic — Kitchens, bedrooms and bathrooms, built with the same precision we bring to hotels.

  • Retail — Display that sells the product, made by people who build to sell.

One team. One factory. Every space.

what does the space need to do?
