It is vital at this time, more than
ever before, that we work together as a united cohesive network to support our collective membership to weather the storm and to continue to trade, prosper and grow beyond crisis.
Throughout the year, our colleagues in the global network of 100+ British Chambers provide ongoing support to members. In difficult times with direct impacts to business, such as Brexit in the UK or the Coronavirus pandemic, the Chambers provide vital services to members such as information, resources, and connections to Government.
Here, we share some examples of our colleagues' experiences of COVID-19 and highlight their fantastic members who have been supporting the COVID-19 efforts in their communities.

Steelcase, the leading global office furniture company today announces the launch of its online stores in Hong Kong and Singapore, offering remote workers the first direct access to its ergonomic products.
Through its insight-led approach, Steelcase is renowned for its innovative and diverse furniture portfolio, which is widely used in the workplaces of world’s leading organisations. But with the wide-reaching disruptions of Covid-19 many office workers have been confined to their homes, often without the right set-up.
“Our customers around the region have been naturally concerned about the wellbeing of their people and many of them have expressed an interest in working with us to set-up better workspaces in employees’ homes”, said Samantha Giam, Director, Product Marketing, Steelcase Asia Pacific. “As we worked to equip their remote teams, we saw an opportunity to make some of our products available to individuals, to improve their work from home experience.”
The transition back to the workplace will be staggered and may take some time. Social distancing will demand lower occupancy levels in the office, and the priority will be on helping to support those that cannot work remotely to return first, while others will continue to work from home.
Steelcase seating technology has been licensed for use in both the aeronautical and automotive industries, as well as in their awarding-winning office chairs. Gesture, Think and Series 1 are all available through the online store–Red Dot Award-winning Gesture is designed for the way we work today–the first chair to support new postures associated with the increased use of technology.
In addition to seating Steelcase will offer desks and a range of accessories to help remote workers adapt their homes for work, such as personal tables that slide in over a sofa to add a work surface.
Steelcase online store is now available in Singapore and Hong Kong. Please visit our store with below link: shop.steelcase.com
