Why work for us

Workagile was established in 2017 with the idea of making the workplace more agile through innovative and unique furniture designs, and in 2019 we were acquired by Pineapple Contracts.

The need for hybrid workspaces has surged due to the increase in virtual meetings, alongside the need for more efficient, flexible spaces to work and meet, largely within smaller office footprints as companies either downsize or re‑design due to flexible working teams.

Our focus at Workagile has evolved to follow this demand and saw us launch our first acoustic pod solution in 2022. Since then, we have expanded to three ranges, and alongside our Huddlebox Collection we have a unique position in the market. Workagile are now becoming a recognised brand, engaging with global companies including Pfizer, GSK, WSP and HSBC, through a network of dealers & Design+Build clients, while architects, designers and end users themselves remain key stakeholders on larger projects through the project specification route.
