It’s not very often that you hear of successful manufacturing businesses these days, but Rigg certainly fit this description.<\/p>\n
Based in Kings Norton, Birmingham, Rigg makes all manner of stylish products for contract businesses and discerning private clients across the UK and abroad.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Style<\/u><\/p>\n
An eclectic range of styles is on offer from Rigg including contemporary, vintage industrial and Scandinavian. The in-house range of designs includes materials such as steel, oak, zinc, copper, brass and high pressure laminates.<\/p>\n
Rigg almost exclusively manufactures its products at its own factory in Birmingham.<\/p>\n
Commercial and Domestic<\/u><\/p>\n
Rigg supplies commercial-quality, heavy-duty furniture to large offices, restaurants and bars. The company has many relationships with furniture dealers and also directly with commercial clients.<\/p>\n
The strong skill-set required for this market is also carried over to its domestic products.<\/p>\n
A fantastic range of dining tables is on offer including substantial solid oak tops to fine hairpin leg desks with zinc tops.<\/p>\n
Facilities<\/u><\/p>\n
Complimenting the design studio, the Rigg factory in Kings Norton is comprehensively equipped with modern and traditional equipment for wood and metalworking.<\/p>\n
A glass bonding function extends this capability for the building of pieces such as the beautiful range of Klarity coffee and dining tables.<\/p>\n
People<\/u><\/p>\n
Great people are at the heart of the business. Rigg prides itself on employing helpful, happy, skilled staff.<\/p>\n
An introduction to a few of the people that you might speak to:<\/p>\n
When calling you will most likely initially speak to Michelle at reception. A very helpful, caring member of staff who is always on hand to help, whether with an existing order or to discuss a new enquiry. If she can’t help directly she will point you to the correct department.<\/p>\n
Peter has a long history in the glass furniture industry following masters-level degree design education. He will be able to help you choose from a vast array of furniture or help guide you through development of a bespoke item.<\/p>\n
Colleague Kevin is also on hand to help with manufacturing and design queries. He is often found on the factory shop-floor ensuring production goes smoothly as well as innovating new processes.<\/p>\n
