Over the last few years and despite the challenges of the pandemic, Staverton continued to expand its product range significantly, moving on from simply being a British office manufacturer of desks to include a broader selection of office furniture solutions to reflect more agile and collaborative ways of working.

Staverton upgraded some of its best-loved office furniture pieces, including SOS sit-stand desks and the SL system, by adding a whole host of new features as standard. The business also launched its newest product Scrumwall – a flexible space-defining structure which supports workplace agility, provides tech-led work settings and houses AV discreetly – to the open market.

Scrumwall was designed for global sports, betting and entertainment provider Flutter Entertainment Plc’s new global headquarters in Dublin – a vast project which was finished in 2022 and represents one of Staverton’s largest in its history.

In 2022 Staverton re-opened its showroom doors to take part in Clerkenwell Design Week after a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic. During the three-day event, Staverton welcomed a bumper number of guests and showcased Scrumwall, TT and the latest iteration of its sit-stand desk, SOS2.
More recently Staverton took its products to The Workspace Design Show at the London Design Centre – proof that the business is firmly back to exhibiting and bringing Staverton’s problem-solving approach to a wider audience.

Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) objectives have risen sharply up Staverton’s agenda during this time and the business has made great strides forward with regard to environmental performance. Staverton is now Carbon Neutral for Energy and has offset its energy-related carbon by supporting two global initiatives (more on that here). More broadly the business is also working to reduce waste and the emissions it produces by ensuring that sustainability informs every aspect of its operations and how Staverton designs and manufactures office furniture.

Staverton’s 2012 began with attendance at the newly re-launched Design Prima. The two day event provided Staverton with its first opportunity to formally showcase its new Staverton CL bench with integrated data and power – a product that had been developed in collaboration with The Co-operative Group for its new head office in Manchester. Staverton went on to enjoy its first recognition of the year, winning Design Prima’s Product Design award in association with Building Design. Staverton was also awarded a sought-after Design Guild Mark from The Furniture Makers Company and was a finalist in the presitigious BIFM Awards.

In November, the business underwent a name change. Logic Office Group became Staverton UK Ltd to consolidate the business under a single identify and focus on Staverton’s office furniture design and manufacturing expertise. The business left its administrative base in Hounslow, Middlesex and moved its offices to Clerkenwell in central London and Westerham in Kent.

The final few months of 2012 saw 2,800 Staverton CL benches installed in The Co-operative Group’s new 400,000 sq ft head office in Manchester. Staverton’s single biggest installation to date – it brought 2012 to a very positive close.

Since then Staverton has expanded its London showroom, moving from the second floor of 70 St John Street to the first and ground floors, giving it street frontage for the first time. Staverton SOS, a new Sit Stand desk solution has been launched and the directors have taken majority ownership of the business, buying-out managing director Mike Gardner and Warrington-based Claremont Group Interiors’ shareholders in order to pursue additional external dealer relationships.

By the late 1990’s Staverton had established itself as a leading design-led UK manufacturer of office furniture with significant recognition within the architect and design community. However in Sept 2002, their ongoing dependence on a single major client within a saturated market led to them being placed into receivership. At this stage Logic Office Group plc acquired the Staverton name and its superbly equipped Devon factory.

In 2002, the company commissioned designers Seymour Powell Foresight to conduct extensive research into the office market and to provide some initial conceptual designs for the next generation of office furniture.
