About Posturite

Our Mission

Our Company

Posturite is the UK market leader in the design, manufacture and distribution of posture-improving products for the workplace and the only company providing health and safety consultancy, training, software and product on a national basis. The company’s share of the ‘curative’ ergonomic market in the UK is in excess of 60%.

Our products – those we design and manufacture ourselves and those we distribute on behalf of international business partners with a worldwide reputation for ergonomic excellence – are to be found in thousands of offices up and down the country. Scores of Britain’s blue chip companies and the vast majority of the country’s local authorities and police forces have turned to Posturite to provide them with the expertise and equipment to help protect their employees against back problems and work-related upper limb disorders.

And we are still expanding. Over the past five years, sales have grown at an average 20% a year. In 2011 our turnover will be in excess of £12.5m. Every month we help over 500 people back to work.

We employ over 100 staff, including a sales force of 55 account managers who service our client base throughout the UK. All of them are fully trained as DSE (Display Screen Equipment) assessors and some are qualified physiotherapists and ergonomists. Our head office is located in a converted mill in East Sussex. Ten senior staff members are shareholders of the company.

Superb products and excellent customer service have been fundamental to our growth. In 1999 we became ISO 9001 accredited as a further step towards guaranteeing continued standards of excellence. Early in 2008 we achieved the Environmental Policy ISO standard 14001. We have also recently been awarded Investors in People.

Our Employees

We recognise that we are only as good as the staff we employ and that our success is due to the quality and team spirit of our employees. We know that people make it happen and that is the essence of our vision for the company. We expect our staff to be passionate about their jobs and to enjoy their work.

Due to our continuing expansion, we are on the look-out for new team members both at our head office and in the field.

The customer service, buying, finance, administration, marketing, software development, warehouse and manufacturing teams are based at our head office close to Berwick station.

Members of our regionally-based sales and account management teams are the front line of our business. They look after work station assessments, provide customers with advice and training on ergonomic products and ensure that chairs, desks and other items of equipment are properly adjusted for the customer’s personal comfort once delivered. In-depth product and DSE assessor training is given to all new team members who are responsible for sourcing new clients and arranging presentations.

Posturite has been awarded coveted Investor in People status, joining an exclusive group of UK employers eligible to use and display the sought-after Investor in People logo and plaque.

The award is a huge feather in the cap for our 100-plus employees across the country, many of whom were interviewed by the Investor in People assessor when he spent several days with us late last year.

At the end of the lengthy report, the examining panel expressed their delight with the outcome. They wrote: "It is great to read of a strong, collaborative team, united and working with senior leaders to achieve clear goals and objectives in a supportive environment. Clearly a company to be proud of and one in which everyone wants to contribute to its success."
