Indulge yourself at george walkers George Walkers is offering 15% off for all Her Magazine readers. Wanting an Armani office but working on a tight budget? Then your first stop should be George Walkers Megastore. The company specialises in recycling surplus office furniture from corporate companies that are downsizing, refurbishing or relocating and then on-selling from its mega store at 318 Rosebank Road in Avondale. Ranging from simple stools and chairs, filinig cabinets to high-end leather recliners and luxurious desks, this unique 15000 square foot warehouse has quality office furniture to suit every budget and every style. For owner and manager Michelle Maitland, it is all about assisting businesses and entrepreneurs trying to get ahead in difficult financial times - and helping to keep New Zealand clean and green. "Previously these companies would look at disposing rather than recycling their used office furniture due to the logistics, storage and time required," she says. Maitland has built her business skills from her early days running a market stall to using her life savings to buy George Walkers. Along the way she became a licensed auctioneer and ran live weekly auctions at George Walkers before moving the business online and then expanding the retail side. Today, Maitland uses her auctioneer skills to help charities raise funds. Looking for ways to expand her business and grow her skills, Maitland set herself the goal of making George Walkers the largest used-office furniture business in New Zealand, a target she reached in 2010. For the last two years, the company has also been a finalist in the Auckland West and Auckland Central business awards. Recently the company has launched a new website www.georgewalkers.co.nz where customers can browse stock. The company also offers free appraisals for sellers and delivers throughout the Auckland regions.
