After over 50 years of working, I have decided it’s time to retire. As you are someone who has bought from us, championed us, worked with us, attended our events, subscribed to our newsletters or just been an all-round lovely person to know, I want to thank you for your support and engagement in the past.
I also want to make you aware of my plans. It was always my intention to finish working before my 70th birthday but that passed in November so I have decided it’s time to wind the business down.
We shall cease accepting orders from March 15th, 2026.
Thereafter, the focus will be on completing all outstanding sales orders as quickly as possible. With the support of my fabulous team, I intend to provide our high standards of service and communication through to closure.
On the subject of my fabulous team, our reputation and standing in the industry are entirely due to their efforts and commitment. For that, I thank them sincerely.
This announcement may come as a surprise and, if you have had recent conversations about future plans, I apologise if they have been misleading. You should know that I only made the final decision 10 days ago and the team were only made aware of it last week. It is in the nature of such decisions that everything must remain ‘business as usual’ – until it’s not.
The customer service team has been briefed about helping you with alternative sources for products and services if needed. To avoid a deluge of phone calls, it’s probably easier to email info@ergonomics.co.uk in the first instance so that we can respond to enquiries in an orderly manner. If you have an allocated account manager, they will also be pleased to help.
I appreciate that many people may want to talk to me about this, so to make this simple, I have set up a Calendly page so you can schedule a virtual meeting at a time convenient for you. I shall also be attending both the Workspace Design Show in London and the Health & Wellbeing at Work event in Birmingham on both days if you want to talk face-to-face. You can schedule your preferred method here.
Thank you once again. I truly value every relationship. Don’t forget to check out the resources section of our website to download any relevant pdf documents and find links to other websites while they are still available.
Now I’m looking forward to days filled with grandchildren, travel and car stuff!
Best wishes
Guy Osmond
Managing Director
