The Ambic STEM Challenge 2024 is now open!

We’re inviting registration for the Ambic STEM Challenge 2024. The STEM Challenge is a competition open to all North East primary and secondary schools to design their own unique piece of school furniture – the winners will have their design manufactured and delivered for FREE! We’re running two competitions this year for primary / secondary schools, we suggest years 5/6 and 9 are probably most appropriate but not exclusive.

If you’re a company or organisation that feels they could contribute to enhancing the STEM experience of children taking part in the competition then we’d love to hear from you!

We can manufacture a wide range of unique contract furniture and fittings for hotels, restaurants and bars within the hospitality sector. We have the facilities to manufacture furniture using a wide array of materials to turn your vision for your renovated or new build venue into reality.

The sky really is the limit, we have helped create some of the most unique entertainment venues in the UK working with designers and resellers who deal directly with high profile clients. They come to us repeatedly due to our reputation for quality, efficiency and reliability to get the project finished on time and on budget.

Corporate Furniture

We manufacture a great deal of our furniture on behalf of designers, architects and resellers who in turn are managing large refurbishment projects. Corporate clients often want innovative and unusual designs to enhance their reputation and make them stand out from their competitors. That’s where we become the perfect partner for such projects. Our ability to think outside the box, our capability to manufacture just about anything and our experience in creating robust, hard-wearing contract furniture that looks fantastic provides much needed reassurance to project managers.

Laboratory Furniture

Our laboratory furniture typically incorporate the latest advances in design technology such as the use of solid grade laminate coupled with fully welded frames. We specialise in supplying large universities and industrial clients who need robust yet ergonomic modern designs that reflect their status as leaders in their field.

We have the laboratory manufacturing capability to incorporate intricate and unusual design requests into our products and because we’re not limited by industry standard supply of fixed furniture and parts, there is no limit to what we can produce for even the most ambitious of project designs.

Educational Furniture

Manufacturing educational furniture was the original core business for Ambic, and we’ve been making furniture for schools and universities for over 30 years. It was our reputation for producing hard-wearing fantastic looking furniture that led to our expansion into other sectors, employing the same ethos and ethusiasm for high quality robust furniture, we continue to enjoy the same good reputation that schools know us for.

We often work closely with schools and universities offering a full end-to-end service from initial conception and advice, through design and manufacture, and finally offering a full installation service from our multi-discliplined teams.

Some of our clients

“From start to finish it has been a pleasure to work with your company. Your flexibility and willingness to accommodate differing needs is much appreciated and has meant that the outcome is the best possible fit for both staff and students.The team who came to install the furniture were extremely hard working, efficient and courteous.”

“We love the guys from Ambic as they always provide us with excellent furniture at realistic prices. Their plans highlight areas for development and give us ideas that we would never have thought of but now couldn’t do without!”

I have always recommended Ambic for their professional and prompt service. They are very accommodating and always offer a variety of suggestions to help us develop our different areas. Ambic’s craftsmanship is always first class & I would recommend them to anyone.

I love the way that Ambic operate. After a relatively quick consultation meeting they’re able to analyse our needs and deliver an improved creative solution in a short time and to budget. We receive a personal service, are kept well informed of progress and totally trust them with developing our school.
