A Tauranga company specialising in high-end office fit-outs is so confident in the commercial future of the city's central business district it is moving its showroom downtown.
Modern Office started in a small Willow St office in 2007 before moving out to a showroom in Judea in 2010.
In two weeks' time, the company will move back into the CBD - into a showroom three times the size of its current one - to showcase a new range of architecturally-specified furniture and a new way of working.
Modern Office was awarded sole New Zealand agency of Turkish furniture range Nurus three months ago - prompting the company to seek more customer exposure in Tauranga and beyond.
Director David Littlewood said the company would be seeking to secure a showroom in Auckland in the first half of next year, and expansion into Hamilton and Christchurch might follow.
