Also whilst singing your praises, your delivery man was superb and I send my sincere thanks. Should I ever need to recommend you, I certainly will. |
| Jane - Newmarket Strategy Ltd |
| Henry & Gillian, Thank you very much for your support with our clients. The fact we managed to shift all of the workstations and a large amount of the loose furniture with only 2 weeks’ notice and 4 days available to remove is no mean feat. Super challenging building management as well! The whole experience has been really smooth (from your side) and will definitely be looking to collaborate on more projects in the future. |
| Coda Furniture |
| Thank you for all your help, you have fantastic after sales support. We will definitely use you again, and having the opportunity to give things a second life is really important to us. |

| I wanted to thank you for all your hard work setting up the advert and selling our items in such a short time span. The whole process has been really easy and it’s been a pleasure dealing with and speaking to you all. I will definitely recommend you in the future.

| Migle M - Swift Ideas Ltd |
| The team at WDW were so very helpful and professional it made my experience of moving on furniture easy and I felt comfortable the whole way through. From the initial onboarding through the supportive picture taking and then the actual selling the team communicated constantly and we’re always there to answer questions. During the process I was never required to disassemble furniture or carry anything it was all arranged on my behalf, very important when I acted remotely a lot of the time. Finally- Even taking into consideration the mark up for WDW we made more from the sales than we thought we were going too, and we also avoided any clearance costs for furniture left after we moved out of the premises so a top job guys. I will be recommending you’re team to anyone in my circles that might benefit. Thank you so much, Stuart M |
| Stuart M - GoMetro |
| Nomo would like to extend their thanks to Tarina Ako. She has been a true pleasure to liaise with, from my initial phone call enquiry, through to order completion. Her professional yet personal touch stopped me from considering other Vendors, allowing me to shop with confidence, providing a seamless experience at WDW. Her correspondence was prompt and concise. She was able to answer all questions, going the extra mile to generate the best delivery quotes/partners available. She has acted as a fantastic Ambassador for WDW and I extend my heartiest gratuity to her for all that she has done. We look forward to shopping with you, in the near future. Once again, my heartiest thanks for a faultless experience – Thank you Tarina. |

| I would like to say a huge thank you to the team at WantDontWant for helping me to sell our surplus office furniture during a very challenging time. This is definitely not my area of expertise so it has been such a relief for me to utilise the professional advice and service that WDW provide. Even during the current COVID-19 lockdown, I was able to drop Gillian a quick email and she managed to sell 12 chairs for me within a couple of hours. Amazing!

| Want Dont Want’s customer service is by far the best I have ever received! The team at Want Dont Want are fantastic and everyone I have dealt with either by phone or email have been so extremely friendly, helpful and efficient. We have moved into a new office and they have gone above and beyond helping us kit it out. They build a relationship with you and it does not feel like they are just trying to sell you something. We went for their refurbished furniture as we are an eco-friendly company. The refurbished furniture looks and operates as good as new - I cannot fault them. Gillian has bent over backwards and has been so patient with me. She is AMAZING and a real life- saver as we were working on a really tight deadline to open the new office. She is a super star!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much Gillian x I would 100% recommend them and I absolutely will use them again. Thank you all for your help. Jamie |

| “We were really struggling to find a good way to dispose of our office furniture before a contact recommended WDW. Initially quite skeptical but with nothing to lose, we decided to go through their listing process. We were delighted with the outcome, with most items finding new homes at WDW’s recommended prices. Adrian, Gillian, Phil and Eva were our principal contacts at the company and were 100% professional throughout the process. We would wholeheartedly recommend WDW to anyone looking to sell their office furniture.” |

| "I would like to give a massive thank you to everyone I dealt with at wantdontwant, with special thanks to Gillian Rossiter for her patience, professionalism, and design skills. I stumbled on the wantdontwant website by chance while looking for furniture for our new premises. We needed a large quantity of furniture and had a small budget! We found 100 terrific desks, and complimentary storage to fill all our needs. The prices are amazing, and the service second to none. I found all of the team gave an extremely high standard of personalized service from the first phone call through to the delivery and making up of the furniture. If I left messages return calls were always made promptly. When I changed my order, I was accommodated without problems. The prices were so low our financial director was suspicious, and loath to pay the deposit requested, and the staff at WDW were extremely helpful in overcoming this and other difficulties, such as an unexpected change in our moving schedule.
