About Albany Contract Furniture

For over 40 years, Albany Contract Furniture has been a trusted provider of quality office furniture solutions across North East England and beyond. Our journey began in 1981, operating from humble beginnings in a Newcastle hotel basement. Since then, we've grown into a reputable supplier, known for our commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction.

Our Evolution

Throughout the decades, we've adapted to the evolving needs of our clients. From our early days supplying office equipment dealerships, we've expanded our offerings to include comprehensive furniture solutions for various sectors, including education, healthcare, and hospitality. In 2004, we rebranded to Albany Contract Furniture, reflecting our broader scope and dedication to serving diverse industries.
