The Senator Group

The story begins in 1976 when our Chairman Colin Mustoe began designing and manufacturing office furniture. In the early days, he would even build and deliver the products to customers himself. All these years on and although we've grown into one of the largest office furniture manufacturers in the world, we remain an independent, family-owned business. All the things that were important to us in the beginning; our attention to detail, integrity, investment in people and passion for design, are still very much running through the veins of our business today. We're a family-owned, independently run, global design-led business. As one of the world's largest designers and manufacturers we have one core purpose, to design furniture that improves the lives of our customers. This purpose means we design furniture we believe in. It's our objective, our benchmark. It ensures every piece of furniture we design, we care for, we question and we refine. We do all of this to ensure every piece stands the test of time.
