Rapid Office Furniture's latest call centre installation

When Retail Kudos sent Rapid Office Furniture a selection of images of a call centre desk they liked, Rapid talked them through their specifications and accepted the call centre task. As well as requiring a custom design, Retail Kudos also wanted the setup to fit in with their corporate colours and wanted the new call centre installed as soon as possible.

After conversations between Rapid Office Furniture and Retail Kudos, the specifications and plans were finalised. The first task Rapid had was to negotiate with their regular bespoke office furniture manufacturer and send plans back and fourth for the call centre desks. The process didn't take long and within a few hours the desks were being made.

A common problem with call centre installations occurred in the design of the call centre. With a lot of staff close together and numerous telephone conversations taking place at once, background noise could cause a problem. As usual, Rapid Office Furniture turned to acoustic partitions to overcome the problem. An additional benefit with acoustic partitions, is that they offered a great canvas to continue Retail Kudos' corporate colours.

Retail Kudos also wanted operator chairs which were heavy duty to prevent day-to-day damage. Rapid Office Furniture consulted their brood database of office chair manufacturers and found an ideal chair for Retail Kudos. As well as finding the ideal operator chair, thanks to Rapid's increasing buying power, and that Retail Kudos had approached Rapid to supply all of their call centre furniture, Rapid were able to offer an unbelievable discount on all chairs.

Within 8 days of Retail Kudos placing their order, Rapid Office Furniture travelled down south to visit Retail Kudos and install their brand new call centre furniture. Retail Kudos were delighted with their installation and loved that Rapid we're able to incorporate their corporate colours.

Winners Of Hertz Furniture's Applauding Teachers Contest Announced

Mahwah, NJ (August 25, 2011) - This week, Hertz Furniture announced the winners of its Applauding Teachers Across America contest. Congratulations are in order for Grand Prize winner Jennifer Carpenter, a 12-year veteran of Oklahoma's Putnam City Schools district.

Leading school furniture supplier Hertz Furniture decided to award the Grand Prize to Mrs. Carpenter because of her passion for equipping her special needs students with the skills necessary for becoming productive members of society. Rather than focusing on her students' disabilities, Carpenter concentrates on what they can do, and encourages their participation in the Special Olympics.

Ralph Down Elementary School parent Donna Martin nominated Mrs. Carpenter for the Hertz Furniture contest. "While everyone else overlooked what she could do, Jennifer made sure my daughter Jailyn always tried her best," Martin wrote in her nomination letter.  "I am writing this in the hope that someone will notice the teachers out there like Jennifer who deserve to be recognized for their tireless and heartfelt. Without her, Jailyn would have a harder time facing day-to-day challenges. Jennifer instills confidence and motivation in every one of her students."

Hertz Furniture (http://www.hertzfurniture.com)  is pleased to award Carpenter with a complete office furniture set, which includes a double-pedestal office desk with matching bookcase and office chair (http://www.hertzfurniture.com/Computer-Chairs--Multi-Func...).  " Jennifer Carpenter and teachers like her deserve to be recognized as well as appreciated," says the company's president Saul Wagner.  "Here at Hertz, we strive to assist teachers in the education of America's children by providing them with the very best in school furniture."

In addition to the Grand Prize, there are also two First Place winners of the Applauding Teachers Contest. Heather Dobson Brumback of Pleasure Ridge Park High School in Kentucky and Pam DeBerardinis of St. Paul's Lutheran School in Alabama each won an executive office chair.  Ms. Brumback, a special education teacher, Big Sister and Special Olympics coach, has learned from her students to never take anything for granted. "Mrs. D." (DeBerardinis), has a perpetual smile on her face even though she's had to teach her class in the corner of the lunchroom ever since a tornado destroyed her classroom in April. Described as "more than priceless," Mrs. D. will certainly put her office chair to good use once her classroom is rebuilt, since all of her school furniture was destroyed in the tornado.
