Repeat order…five years later
Five years ago, a care home organisation took delivery of PolyWood tables and chairs for its Margate site, and has just taken delivery of more PolyWood garden furniture for its new Brentwood residence, the Beeches. UK distributor DMMP imports the PolyWood furniture and is delighted with this vote of confidence. Marcus Palmer, MD, said: “By now, after five years in constant use and exposure to the elements, equivalent outdoor furniture made from timber may well be on its last legs but the PolyWood furniture in Margate has needed nothing more than a few wash- downs and proves it is a wise investment.” The PolyWood range also offers an environmentally- responsible solution to the millions of plastic bottles thrown away in landfills. Pellets of processed, recycled bottles are extruded to create plastic ‘timber’ which is then hand-crafted in exactly the same way as natural timber to create PolyWood’s stunning outdoor furniture range.
