We have had 8 of your Mirage chairs for over 2 years and they are just as good
as the day they were purchased. A great chair for sitting at your desk all day
with the lumbar and back support..Time to upgrade another 16 !!

Dear Keith
I'd like to say a 'big thank you' for all the help and assistance we receive from
Carlisle Business Supplies , particularly with our recent office development.
The provision of 2D and 3D drawings to help determine the office layout, with the
ablity to make ammendments as required , resulted in minimal service down time
as the drawings formed the basis for the plan on ' moving day '.
The new furniture we purchased for the software development team and the new
meeting room has enabled us to make excellent use of the open plan space, and
Has become the 'envy' of the others within the building. The furniture is functional
yet modern looking and was installed by the CBS team of installers.
We look forward to a long and continued business relationship.

I have regularly used Carlisle Business Supplies and would thoroughly recommend them.
They have supplied furniture for my staffroom and teachers’ PPA room; chairs & tables for classrooms; seating and furniture for children’s reading areas and library and numerous items for two offices.
From the initial enquiry, planning meeting, quotation, order, then delivery and installation, the service has
always been excellent and the quality of products outstanding.
They have save me a great deal of time and provided ‘best value’ for the school budget.

A big thank you to everyone for all the attention shown helping us purchase our desks and chairs.
suspect if someone had taken the time to explain the requirements needed when deciding upon
an office chair half of the back problems one has suffered would never have existed. My experience
with Carlisle Business Supplies has been marvellous from the filing drawers delivered earlier this year
to the now office furniture. Nothing is too much or too small ..A wonderful company to deal with.

It was a pleasure dealing with you right from our initial meeting. You gave us valuable advice on how to make the best of the office space and your subsequent support throughout the process with all my various questions and amendments was very much appreciated.

We have always found the service first class.
Nehal and the team are always willing to help with any issue and delivery is always prompt..next day !
Even on the odd occasion where we have made a mistake with our order they have always rectified it for us, they always go the extra mile with customer service. I could not recommend them more highly , they are a great team.
I class Nehal more of a friend than a stationery supplier.

I was contacted approximately 3 years ago by a very pleasant lady named Nehal from CBS asking about suppliers that we used and would we be interested in viewing their catalogue. We decided to give them a try and have not looked back since.
Everyone you deal with are so pleasant and helpful. I can ring up Nehal with a half description and she knows exactly what I mean and it arrives the next day. The deliveries are prompt and delivered with a smile by the driver.
We have since acquired another property and required new office furniture. CBS were contacted and they were so helpful with the planning and ordering of all the new office furniture. On delivery their team arrived to assemble everything and lay it all out. All we had to do was sit down when it was finished!
The costs supplied are competitive and therefore our company will continue to purchase from Carlisle Business Supplies.

We have been using the Carlisle Business Services on-line ordering facility since starting up an account with them in 2009. It’s so easy to use, quick, hassle free and because of the confirmation email that follows each order and the stored orders on the website, it makes it easy to follow a ‘paperless’ trail if anything needs to be checked off.
It’s really convenient having all of our prices ready to view and products easy to find on-line.
Another great thing for us is that as I order for different departments, the ability to set up cost control codes which means you can always keep a good track on what spending is relevant to the departments.
Really pleased with the whole system – works great for us in Durham !

We have been using Carlisle Business Supplies on-line ordering for a number of years now, and one of the best things we like about it is that it is so quick and easy to use. Every item is easy to find whether you use the item code, description or a key word. We also like the ability to compare products instantly...this is really beneficial to us. We know what price we will pay at the outset, and these factors combined with the personal service is brilliant, and if we get stuck we can always pick up the phone and talk to their web support team.
For an expanding company such as ours, we will see the benefit of being able to have delivery and costs allocated to our regional offices, but still keep our office supplies and furniture budget controlled through our main office at Dalston.
We have a first class partnership with CBS and look forward to dealing with them in the future.
