FEBRUARY 2008 » JAMES SPENCER UNVEILS NEW FTF RANGE
James Spencer & Co has launched a new eco friendly furniture range, with the frames made totally from recycled plastic. Thought to be unique to the industry sector, the company has unveiled its ground breaking Forward Thinking Furniture (FTF) range of chairs, settees, beds and dining chairs to coincide with its landmark 60th anniversary year.

Richard Spencer, chairman of James Spencer & Co. Ltd., explained: “FTF is extremely strong and heavy furniture that is built to last. “Although frames are made from recycled plastic, FTF retains the appearance of wood – yet is stronger than wood and more durable than steel. It will never rot, is 100% non-porous, fungus and corrosion proof, requiring minimal maintenance.

“Fully compliant with current fire safety regulations, the range also has 100% waterproof frames that can be jet-washed and are chemicalresistant. Safety and hygiene considerations are vital and while FTF allows for thorough cleaning to reduce risks of cross-infection, the product always stays attractive. “The range is offered with a wide choice of upholstery fabrics. One of the secrets behind Forward Thinking Furniture is that all the upholstery is removable and, should any part become damaged, it can be quickly and easily replaced on the premises without having to take the product out of service.”

James Spencer’s FTF range, said to have a multitude of applications, is being marketed widely across the healthcare, leisure and hospitality sectors. It is thought particularly suitable for challenging behaviour environments, notably among users who may face mobility, disability and mental health issues.

Richard Spencer said: “Environmental considerations are high on the agenda as we seek to minimise our carbon footprint. Because FTF frames are made from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic from waste collected in the UK, landfill is reduced substantially, as are freight miles.

“Environmental protection and economic sustainability cannot be separated. FTF clearly demonstrates that financial and social responsibility can go hand in hand - saving money, while at the same time being totally green. What’s more, the furniture is itself fully recyclable. “We have successfully conducted extensive trials and independent tests, and believe FTF will prove one of the most exciting and cost-effective product innovations in years. We are already experiencing major interest from both existing and prospective new customers.”
