Premium Office Seating Solutions in Leighton Buzzard
Established in 1970, Pledge Office Chairs has grown from a small workshop in Leighton Buzzard to a leading UK manufacturer of premium office seating solutions.

Over five decades, we have pioneered innovations such as the first UK-standardised locking gas seat height adjustment and patented tilting mechanisms like the Levermatic and Trimatic. Our commitment to quality is evident in iconic projects, including supplying seating for Cisco's 2012 Olympic hospitality suite and converting Concorde passenger seats into swivel chairs.With a 14,000m manufacturing facility and a London showroom in Clerkenwell, we combine British craftsmanship with global reach through our American distributor network.
