When Louise Airey, from online furniture company Kinnarps, met up with the Bromley Education Business Partnership (EBP) at an LBB Boost Your Business network event she really got conneccted.
Kinnarps is an international company who produce high end bespoke furniture, specialising in functional Swedish pieces for the workplace and organisations with one of their main objectives being to get leads to promote their service to schools and colleges.
As part of the involvement with Bromley EBP, Louise worked as a business partner to Year 12 sixth form students at Bullers Wood School on an industry challenge.
After this, through Bromley EBP’s London network, they arranged for 18 teachers of design and technology and business studies to visit the Kinnarps showroom in Covent Garden.
Teachers were enthralled to find out more about the company, its history, ethos and products and gave excellent feedback.
Now, Kinnarps has contact details for a number of schools and colleges across London to follow up as possible leads. It was so successful for them - they would like to repeat their support this academic year.
