Yes. Max Furniture supplies and installs office pods, meeting pods, acoustic phone booths and workplace pods across Manchester and the wider North West. We manage the full process — from initial consultation and space planning through to delivery, installation and sign-off — using local installation partners across Greater Manchester and the surrounding region.

We supply six product ranges to Manchester workplaces: acoustic phone booths for individual focus and calls, two-person and four-person meeting pods, video conference pods, open-plan work pods, accessible pods and fully acoustic booths for confidential conversations. Each range is available in a choice of exterior fabric colours, interior finishes, glazing options and carpet styles to suit your office interior.

Most standard pod configurations are delivered and installed within four to eight weeks of order confirmation, subject to product range and order size. We carry out a pre-install site survey to ensure the installation runs smoothly. Contact us for a lead time specific to your chosen product and quantity.

Yes — and Manchester is well connected. Manchester Piccadilly is just over two hours from London Euston by Avanti West Coast, making our Clerkenwell showroom a straightforward day trip. Every range of acoustic phone booths, meeting pods and workplace pods is on display so you can assess acoustic performance, dimensions and finishes in person. Call us to arrange a visit.

Yes. We work with workplace designers, interior fit-out contractors and office furniture dealers across Manchester and the wider North West. We offer trade pricing, product specifications, PCon Planner 3D visuals and dedicated project support for trade accounts. If you are managing a client project requiring acoustic phone booths, meeting pods or workplace pods anywhere across Greater Manchester or the North West, get in touch to discuss how we can support your programme.

In addition to Manchester city centre, we regularly install office pods and acoustic booths across Salford, MediaCityUK, Trafford, Stockport, Bolton, Bury, Oldham, Rochdale and the wider Greater Manchester region. We also cover Leeds, Sheffield and other key Yorkshire and North West locations from the same regional team.

Acoustic performance varies by product range. Entry-level booths achieve around 25dB sound reduction — sufficient for open-plan offices with moderate background noise, typical of Manchester’s busy commercial environments in Spinningfields, NOMA and Ancoats. Our premium ranges deliver up to 35dB or more, suitable for confidential calls and sensitive conversations. Our team can advise on the right specification for your environment.

In most cases, no. Office pods are freestanding furniture and do not require planning permission or building regulations approval when installed inside an existing commercial building. If your Manchester office is in a managed development such as Spinningfields or a heritage building in the city centre, it is worth checking your lease terms with your landlord or property manager before placing an order.

Yes. Most of our pod ranges offer a choice of exterior fabric colours, interior finishes, carpet options and glazing configurations. We can produce PCon Planner 3D visuals showing your chosen specification within your actual floor plan before you place an order — useful for both modern open-plan offices in NOMA and Ancoats and the converted Victorian and Edwardian buildings common across Manchester’s commercial districts.

Yes. We carry a dedicated accessible pod range with wider entry points and layouts suitable for wheelchair users. These can be specified as part of a wider pod installation or ordered as standalone units. Our team can advise on placement and specification to help you meet your obligations under the Equality Act 2010.

Pod sizing depends on your intended use and available floor space. Solo acoustic phone booths typically occupy around 1m x 1m — well suited to Manchester’s predominantly open-plan commercial offices. Two-person pods start from around 1.2m x 1.8m, and four-person meeting pods from 2m x 2m upwards. We can provide a full space planning consultation and 3D layout visual for your specific footprint.

Yes. One of the key advantages of freestanding acoustic pods over built meeting rooms is that they can be repositioned as your office layout changes or your Manchester operation grows. Most of our pod ranges can be moved without specialist tools, though we recommend involving our team for larger configurations to avoid any risk of damage.

Yes. All pods include integrated ventilation and interior lighting as standard. Most ranges also include mains power sockets and USB charging points. Full technical datasheets covering ventilation rates, electrical specifications and acoustic ratings are available for every product range. Ask our team for the relevant datasheet for your preferred model.

No minimum order. We supply single acoustic phone booths as readily as large multi-pod configurations for Manchester’s biggest employers and business park occupiers. That said, delivery is more cost-efficient on larger orders, so if you anticipate needing additional pods in future it is worth considering your full requirements upfront.

The quickest way is to call us on 0207 608 1788 or complete the enquiry form on this page. Let us know the pod type, number of units, your approximate installation date and any specific requirements — we aim to respond with a detailed quote within one working day. For trade and dealer enquiries, please mention that you are a contractor or dealer so we can route your enquiry to the right team and discuss trade pricing.
