House building industry first as Reviive Chester receives showhome furniture donation from Wainhomes

June 4, 2015

A Chester recycling and resale centre has received a donation of former show home interiors from one of the biggest independent house builders in the region.

Reviive, which is located on the Chester West Employment Park, Sovereign Way, accepted the collection of bedroom, lounge and dining room furniture, and accessories from Wainhomes (NW) Ltd through its interior design company Stanza Style.

Commenting on what is believed to be a first for the industry in the North West, field sales manager at Wainhomes (NW) Ltd Sonia Ross, said: “We are not aware of any other house builder that donates its show home furniture and fittings to organisations such as Reviive, and it is great to be the first. The gesture has also generated a positive feel-good factor among everyone at Wainhomes. Working with Alex Egan from Stanza Style, we hope to build on this initial donation and with current housing developments in Crewe, Oakmere and Nantwich either nearing completion or ready to view, there is potential for us to develop further relationships with Reviive.”

Julian Price managing director at Reviive, said: “This donation to Reviive is a fantastic addition to the continuously growing and diverse range of products we offer. They are high quality pieces of furniture and accessories which we will be able to sell at very competitive prices. We are very grateful to Stanza Style and Wainhomes for their support and look forward to building on this in the future.”
