The Senator Group
What we do It might be quicker to say what we don’t do To put it simply – we design and manufacture contract furniture for workplaces, hospitality, healthcare and education sectors. But we also do much more. We are self-confessed control freaks. We prefer to not sub-contract quality at any stage, which is why we own our own Engineering Plant, Woodworking Facility and Logistics. We design, we engineer, we manufacture, we deliver, we install, we recycle, we manage, and we advise.
