At Broxap Street Furniture we are proud to do business in the UK.
Based in North Staffordshire, we operate just a few miles from where our founder established the company 75 years ago.
Not that there hasn’t been some significant changes over the years.
But we believe being positioned in the heart of the country puts Broxap in the best location for serving our customers.
And of course, investing in British manufacturing brings a raft of benefits for our clients too.

Heart of the matter

Broxap Street Furniture is based in Chesterton, in Newcastle-Under-Lyme, less than 10 miles from its original foundry in nearby Harriseahead.
Our six-acre office and production site was bought in 1974 by Sydney Lee, almost 30 years after he started the business in 1946.
Within three years a 13,000 sq ft factory and office was built and by 1980, all business functions transferred to Chesterton and the site was further extended.
Today, Broxap Street Furniture continues to invest in its UK premises as part of its long term commitment to enhancing productivity.
In 2020, a new £80,000 timber workshop was opened as production of our playground equipment was transferred to run alongside our street furniture plant.
The site is also the distribution hub for all of our products including sports and outdoor gym equipment.
And our commercial and office teams are based in an adjacent building, with close liaison between all divisions and departments.

Supporting UK manufacturing

Building street furniture products on site helps us to develop better relationships with our clients.
We are happy to show visitors around our site which meets ISO 9001 Quality Management; ISO 14001 Environmental Management and ISO 45001 Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems.
We regularly post updates from our workshop, lifting the lid on the work carried out on the shop floor by our skilled engineers, operatives and crafts people.
We believe openness helps to build trust and confidence, showing that the made in UK label is a sign of quality.

Research, design and innovation

Being based all under one roof means we can develop ideas. We constantly review the materials we use and the processes involved to achieve better efficiency without compromising on the quality or performance of our products.
We also invest heavily in technology across the business, upskilling our teams and working with precision and accuracy to reduce waste and costs.
As a company dedicated to improving and enhancing our natural environment we constantly strive towards making the business and its products as sustainable as they can be. Our street furniture is built to last, for generations to enjoy. It delivers value for money in terms of longevity and durability and we even have a number of lines made from recycled plastic.

Communication is key

Manufacturing in the UK, and working from one site, gives Broxap Street Furniture better control over its customer service and product offering.
Any issues can be highlighted and resolved more quickly and lead times can be determined or adjusted accurately based on real-time updates and feedback.
We take on board the experiences of our clients and everyone who works at Broxap Street Furniture undergoes extensive training to get to know the products and the systems involved.
This way we can be sure of always communicating clearly and honestly with customers throughout their journey with us.
As part of our long-term business improvement plan, we are not only investing in our site and systems, we are also investing in our people.
We have a number of opportunities available for experienced professionals as well as juniors and  trainees, who are encouraged to grow their skills and talents with the business.
UK manufacturing supports UK jobs, bringing better security and prospects for all.
