Bisley
Storage and office workspaces made for life

Bisley is a British manufacturer of steel-based workspace furniture and storage solutions The company was formed after the Second World War and is historically famous for its steel filing cabinets which are now seen as design classics. Over recent years, Bisley has transformed its products inline with modern work practices, unfortunately the market and Bisley’s employees and dealers still thought of the company as selling individual storage products.

Bisley commissioned us to audit the brand across its global network of showrooms and dealerships and recommend a programme that would reposition the company inline with its aspiration and vision for the future.

New website

A new digital experience for Bisley customers: greater engagement with the Bisley brand, its products and a vision for workplace solutions.

The website is used by thousands of customers, dealers and Bisley teams. It features a vast catalogue of products and a media bank for dealers to gather resources. The site is available across eight locales, and in four languages.

Online shop

We created the first Bisley online shop representing a new way of selling directly to customers. The shop featured over 2,000 products, and integrated tightly with their internal fulfilment tools and CRM. It was also managed with the same CMS as the website so lots of resources were shared.

Sales over the first year of the shop being live exceeded their projections.

We supported Bisley with setting up social media business channels, making sure the pages on the shop were optimised for sharing on social channels.
