Environment & Ethical Values
We take care of the Environment and are forever wanting to become green. Alexander Rose Ltd takes its environmental and ethical responsibilities very seriously. Sustainable sourcing for products, combined with the utilisation of factories that possess good employee conditions, has long been our way of business and fundamental to our core beliefs and values.
Quality and safety will not be compromised. We will know the stories of our products; and consequently, the well being of the environment and the people involved. The timber we use will be from well-managed forests. We will seek to minimise the environmental impact of other associated raw materials we use. Working conditions in our supplier factories and throughout the supply chain will meet the highest standards. We will dedicate resources to the development of carbon footprint reduction across our diverse range of product materials. We will not over package order our products, and we will maximise our use of recyclable materials for packaging. We will explain to our consumers how to minimise the impact on the environment by recommending regular maintenance and care products, to prolong the longevity of our products. We will design our products to make recycling as easy as possible We will minimise the need to use toxic chemicals in our products and their production processes.
Our History
Alexander Rose has been at the forefront of garden furniture design and manufacturing since 1994. For close on 20 years we have built our reputation by listening to our customers, sharing their enthusiasm and bringing passion, experience and skill to the design and manufacture of quality garden furniture.
Alexander Rose was formed in 1994, by Borge Leth, a quintessential Dane, and the Pepera’s – a wealthy Ghanaian family, to sell garden furniture to the UK market, from their extensive factory in West Africa. The Pepera family remained 100% shareholders until 2010.
By 2008 Alexander Rose was designing more and more ranges to reflect consumers desire to get the ‘indoor and outdoor’ look and launched a range of deep-seat outdoor weave living sets. The ‘Ocean’ range is manufactured in Alexander Rose’s own factory in Cebu, The Philippines.In 2010 the Pepera family sold their shares, and a new owner was found, the Roda Group, from Bolivia, who became the majority shareholder, together with the original founder and current Managing Director, Borge Leth.
Alexander Rose’s primary wooden furniture ranges are produced from our factory in Bolivia and include our main sustainable wood collections. Our woven furniture, crafted onto powder-coated aluminium frames, is manufactured in our Cebu Philippines factory where century-old traditions of hand made weaving still take place.
Today, Alexander Rose sells quality garden furniture to a variety of business customers from high end retailers and garden centres nationwide, through to contractors; such as Architects, Interior Designers and Landscape Designers working on projects for Hotels, Spas, Restaurants, Golf Clubs and Care Homes. Alexander Rose also exports 20 per cent of their products to Europe.
