Update for July 2009

Welcome to our July edition of whats new.

That time is upon us again where Schools, College's and Universities take their extended Summer break. Our Aim at Merlin is to continue to deliver as many orders as possible during this time.

With this in mind we kindly request that on every order from today onwards to any education establishment, you confirm whether there will be a caretaker, head teacher, receptionist or any other responsible person on site during the holidays that can sign for the delivery.

If we could remind you that phone numbers for the contact person and any delivery instructions necessary are placed on your order it will help make the delivery as smooth as possible.

A new range of Pod desking is now available. Designed around educational requirements.

“I needed a room where students can not only do traditional IT work but also hold weekly meetings; invite businesses in for consultations; give demonstrations to other students and run a mini enterprise”.

That comment from Tim Weeks, an ICT teacher in Dorset* echoes the increasing frustration felt across the country from teachers who are finding that the new Diploma courses are placing a range of unexpected demands not only on the teachers at the school, but also the physical layout of the classroom.

In search for a solution Tim Weeks arranged for an on-site demonstration of POD Desking: a set of highly flexible desks that can be arranged in any one of a number of layouts. These desks allow the re-creation of the classroom space for each and every area of work that arises.

Did you know we are launching a new buy back scheme enabling you to swap old for new in a cash positive way? Did you know we offer washing, recycling and financing options? I'd also like to tell you about our new customer service charter which we will be launching soon.

The new range of home office furniture called Somerset comes into stock this month and offers a stylish alternative to metal and chrome alternatives.

Keeping with Furniture we have a new range of seating for the little ones. Designed for Nurseries and Day care centres this soft seating range comes in rounded shapes that look like a certain sweet range.
