Since its inception, Workstories has sustained a remarkable compound annual growth rate of 56.3 percent, driven by the tenacity and vision of Founder Jamie Harradine. From its modest beginnings in 2013, starting with just one model, 80 chairs in stock, and a handful of clients, Workstories now boasts a robust inventory of over £3,000,000 worth of stock ready for delivery within seven working days.

The Workstories portfolio has also evolved to encompass a broad range of UK manufactured workspace solutions, from tables to soft seating, booths, storage, and integrated technology, which is distributed through a network of 200 dealer partners nationwide.

So, what’s fuelling Workstories’ rapid rise in the workspace furniture industry? According to Harradine, ‘It’s about delivering quality furniture that combines competitive pricing with exceptional customer service and quick lead times.’ In an industry where many companies struggle to achieve similar growth, Workstories stands out for its customer-first approach and dedication to innovation.

Harradine credits the company’s success to its dynamic team. ‘This achievement is a testament to our dedicated, talented staff. Many were new to the industry and bring a multitude of backgrounds and cultures, making Workstories an interesting, fun and collaborative place to work. From specification to aftercare, our goal is to ensure that every workspace becomes a story of success.’
