Our values

Integrity

We attach equal importance to the integrity of all who work at Vitsœ, whether assembling furniture, packing boxes, installing shelves, planning furniture systems, working with customers or updating our website.

Our suppliers and customers know that our standards are high. If Vitsœ clicks, you will find yourself in a fulfilling place – with a sense of making a difference to the planet on which we all live.

Long term

In a world where short-term gain, corner cutting, insincerity and depersonalisation have become the norms, Vitsœ is committed to building long-term relationships with colleagues, customers and suppliers by treating everyone with respect.

You will be joining a community of people fully committed to our mutual futures, who trust and value one another.

Diversity

Vitsœ is an international and multicultural business (and community) with teams, locations and customers across the globe. We believe that diversity breeds creativity, and colleagues are always encouraged to think for themselves.

Vitsœ provides equal opportunities for everyone regardless of their gender, religion or belief, ethnic, cultural or national origins, disability, sexual orientation, marital status, education or age.

Shops and installations

Our furniture-planning teams serve customers from Vitsœ shops in the United Kingdom, Germany and the United States, helping customers worldwide with expert advice.

A furniture planner is a dedicated personal designer. They plan furniture precisely and solve any problems throughout the buying and installation process – forging relationships with future life-long customers along the way.

Our global planning team is formed of an eclectic group of individuals – meet the team.

Vitsœ shops also serve as bases for our highly-skilled installation teams.

Headquarters: Royal Leamington Spa, United Kingdom

At our HQ and production building in the heart of England, we design and make our furniture, and send it worldwide.

Within the building you will find: developers working on our website; workshop teams assembling and packing orders; the communications team creating social media content; accountants looking after our books; a personnel team looking after colleagues – and the catering team cooking our lunch … to name but a few.

Colleagues tell us that the atmosphere inside the building is refreshing. It is an ever-evolving hive of activity where the teams work and socialise together with mutual respect and in good-natured company. It is a place where everyone’s opinion is valued.

“The ethos of the company and the way we work here is worth a lot. When you work for some companies, you don’t have the same level of freedom. You’re able to find what you want to do and follow it, alongside like-minded people.”
