An Enfield company which builds furniture from recycled goods has been recognised by the Queen.

Premier Workplace Services, of Ardra Road, Edmonton, is celebrating being named a winner of the 2016 Queen’s Award for Enterprise in Sustainable Development, the UK’s highest accolade for business success.

The company set up Premier Sustain in 2011, developing sustainable furniture using materials which had been sent to landfill. 

They have remanufactured and refurbished over 10,000 desks, screens and chairs, and donated over 15,000 items of furniture to charities, schools and social enterprises through its donation initiative.

Managing director Jerry Marks said: “We are absolutely thrilled to have won this award.

“We are committed to delivering our services fairly and responsibly and attaining the best financial, social and environmental outcomes for our clients’ resources. 

“It’s great to be recognised for our achievements and leadership in sustainable development.”
