Overview
Amicus Trust is a charitable organisation dedicated to providing supported housing and care for individuals facing homelessness and complex needs. One of their properties had become uninhabitable and required a complete refit, including furniture, appliances, and essential household items, to make it suitable for residents once again.
Our Approach
Leveraging our strong existing relationship with Amicus Trust, Global Facilities managed the end-to-end project delivery. We provided a single-source solution to supply, deliver, and install all required items, ensuring minimal disruption and maximum efficiency.
Our services included:
- Full furniture supply – sofas, beds, tables, and chairs
- Essential appliances – fridges, ovens, and other white goods
- Key electrical items – including TVs and small devices
- Soft furnishings – curtains, lampshades, and complementary décor
By consolidating procurement and delivery into a one-stop service, we simplified the process and removed unnecessary complexity for the client.

Challenges
- Tight Deadlines – The property needed to be ready for residents as quickly as possible.
- Comprehensive Scope – Sourcing everything from appliances to soft furnishings required careful coordination.
- Minimising Disruption – We ensured the work caused no unnecessary delays to Amicus Trust’s ongoing operations.
The Result
The property was successfully transformed into a safe, functional, and welcoming home for those in need — delivered on time and within budget. The project strengthened our partnership with Amicus Trust and showcased our ability to manage complex property refits with speed, precision, and care.
