Those of you who, knew and worked with Don, our Champion Midland Sales Manager, might also know that he is about to move on and enjoy the next chapter in his life.
Don has been with us and served many of you for more than ten years now.
All who know him describe Don as a loyal, dedicated and an overwhelmingly honourable member of the Summit team.
I hope I speak for all of you when I say Don has been a “Thoroughly Decent Chap” to know & work with….. A Gentleman through & through.
Don, we all truly & personally thank you for your commitment. You will be sorely missed and we wish you and all your loved ones a long, happy and healthy retirement.
And to close off for this week, can I also just reassure you that it’s business as usual as the ‘new man’ Chris Harwood will be taking the reins and no doubt, he’ll be in touch soon.
Very Best wishes
Roy and the Summit team

As the year draws to a close we would like to wish you a merry Christmas break and express our thanks to you all for your continued support through what has been yet another challenging period.
Again, rather than send out Christmas cards we have made a donation to our local Dorothy House Hospice and also donated a number of new chairs for their administration personnel.
The first significant event from Summit in the early part of January will be the arrival of our our brand new, fully illustrated Retail Price List and Specification Guide. We know this is a long time overdue for which we must apologize! But we are sure that the new guide will prove to be well worth the wait!

The Retail Price List and Specification Guide has been reformatted to work as a standalone book from which you can sell our entire range of products. We’ve even given it more pages so that we could significantly enlarge the text and imagery.
A new website is on the way as well and we hope that together, these two tools will be of great benefit to you!!

Optimum quality, optimum price …
David Simpson (Summit MD) says: “We are excited to be branching out with the new Optimum collection. it will sit between the Premium and Essential collections. Whilst still offering the fantastic quality associated with the Premium Collection, the Optimum Collection should help to engage a new, wider customer base for these price conscious times”.
“The Optimum Collection combines the build quality and specifications from Summit Chairs’ top of the range Premium chairs with a stylish new look that makes this collection ideal for anyone looking for top quality office seating at an affordable price”.
Optimum Collection contains 4 new ranges (Scope, Score, Sculpt and Lite), a revamp to existing ones and some classics.

You may have noticed a lack of ‘storefront’ activity at Summit recently. The good news is that we’ve been busy preparing for another Summit launch – the new Optimum seating collection:
“Following the introduction of our new Summit branding and style on the Eeso, Cyrus, Exquisit and Piano mini brochures late last year we are now pushing ahead with the next stage of the marketing strategy designed to help your sales people sell more Summit chairs.
Over the next few months all of our product ranges will be presented in three new collections. Whilst each collection has a distinctly different position in the marketplace they will all share a common visual style. The first of these to arrive will be our Optimum Collection. This brochure takes the SC Seating products, together with some great new additions and presents them beautifully whilst still maintaining the SC Seating ethos of great value for money.
Complimenting the three new collection brochures there will be a new Retail Price List and Specification Guide. This will include pricing for the Optimum Collection. We believe this move from the old SC Seating trade price list will make life easier for all concerned.
I hope you will be very pleased with our improved marketing material and that we can continue to work together to beat this overly drawn out recession.” – David Simpson, Summit Chairs
If you want advance copies of the new brochures or simply want to know more about the collections please get in touch here or call Roy and the team on 01225 864703.
Many business people are at their desks for almost 12 hours a day and few of them have perfect posture. It’s also well known that slouching over a desk all day long will contribute to back troubles. See the numbers here.
What if it was more comfy to protect your back?
The Posturemax 200 chair has evolved to meet the growing demand for heavy duty back care seating. It is designed specifically for larger people.
Whilst retaining all the features of the original, the ground breaking Posturemax, the 200 version has been re-engineered, tested and certified for intensive use by people weighing up to 200kg.
But what’s in it for you?
By helping your business to improve its approach to back care, you can benefit from greater customer loyalty and increased profits.Acting knowledgeably on an issue like back care has been shown to directly affect your bottom line. And that should get serious attention. If you’d like to see more on how Posturemax helps prevent back pain, follow this link.
What’s more, the Posturemax 200 is Summit’s most durable chair yet. So take a look now for years of heavy and intensive use.
I hope this gives you an idea of how you can use Posturemax chairs as a solution to a business issue and a means to reducing sickness through back pain. More information on the Posturemax chairs can be found at www.posturemax.co.uk.

If you saw The Apprentice final on Sunday, you will know that Tom Pellereau won. And his business idea was to produce a chair to reduce back pain in office workers. Lord Sugar was skeptical about the business plan as a whole, however we are sure your customers will have identified with the issues Tom raised and will be interested in a back care chair.
The good news is that you don’t need to wait for Tom to help prevent back pain in your customers! The Summit Posturemax range does this already. What’s more it’s available now…
Tom’s figures were interesting - and accurate. Take another look here (15min for the chair idea, and 45min for Lord Sugar’s reaction). Back pain causes 6 million days off per year in the UK and that number is growing. What employers tend not to realise is that a lot of back pain (and time off) is preventable with good seating.
