Price Update

We will be publishing updates to our prices, for all products, effective from Monday 3rd August 2026.

Dear Valued Customer,

I’m writing to let you know that we’ll be applying a 2.5% price increase across our ranges from Monday 3rd August. I recognise that the news of further price increases coming so quickly after those imposed in April will not be welcome. It’s not a decision we’ve taken lightly. Like many in our sector, we continue to face rising material costs and, in particular, sustained increases in freight costs due to recent geopolitical events.

Wherever possible, we’re absorbing these pressures ourselves to keep your costs as stable as we can. This 2.5% increase reflects only the portion we’re genuinely unable to carry, and we’ve worked hard to keep it as modest as possible. We value the relationship we have with you and would much rather be open about the reasons behind this than let it pass without explanation.

Any quotations already issued and orders placed before 3rd August will be honoured at current pricing. If you’d like to discuss anything, or get orders in ahead of the change, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with me or your usual contact directly.

Thank you, as always, for your understanding and continued business.
With best regards,

Ronnie Temple
Sales Director

Our updated prices will be available from Monday 3rd August. If you have any questions or require further information, please don’t hesitate to contact your account manager.

Thank you for your continued partnership with us.

DFN Birmingham

Wednesday 17 June 2026
Saint Paul’s Market, Birmingham B3 1RL

The venue is a stunning 10,000 sqft former industrial warehouse, with lots of the details kept intact whilst breathing new life into this beautiful old building. Look out for the original brickwork and the cranes, juxtaposed with a disco ball – the result is a welcoming space filled with character, both old and new. This huge, epic food hall is an awesome collaboration between Independent Birmingham, Baltic Market & Buddha Belly. This venue is their love letter to the city, and to the independents they have championed for over 13 years.

Arrow Group becomes Formetiq

Arrow Group’s name change to Formetiq marks a strategic shift toward in-house furniture manufacturing

Arrow Group proudly announces that we are changing our name to Formetiq®. The name change reflects our strategic evolution from a furniture wholesaler to a dedicated manufacturer and producer of our own intelligently designed, in-house furniture.

For years, the Formetiq® brand has been the cornerstone of our product offerings, delivering high-quality, flexible, and comfortable workspace solutions—such as the SYSTM® modular desking and Havana seating ranges. By adopting Formetiq® as our primary corporate identity, we are aligning our name with our true passion: designing and building exceptional workplace environments.

“This is an exciting milestone in our company’s history,” said Sales Director Ronnie Temple. “After decades of successful wholesaling, we have increasingly focused our investments and expertise on designing and manufacturing our own furniture. Transitioning our name from Arrow Group to Formetiq® makes perfect sense. It reflects our evolution from a distributor to a creator, allowing us to have complete control over the quality, design, and sustainability of the products we bring to the modern workspace.”

‘It reflects our evolution from a distributor to a creator, allowing us to have complete control over the quality, design, and sustainability of the products we bring to the modern workspace.’

While our name is changing, our commitment to our global network of dealers and trade partners remains stronger than ever. Operating out of our Suffolk headquarters and continuing to hold substantial inventory to support fast turnaround times, Formetiq® will continue to provide the same industry-leading trade pricing and dedicated dealer support that you our partners have come to expect. We will also continue to offer our popular Metalicon® range of ergonomic workspace solutions.

The rebranding initiative will be rolled out across our website, dealer portal, and marketing materials over the coming weeks. Our core mission remains unchanged: to manufacture intelligently designed workspace furniture that empowers people to work happy and work well.

About Formetiq® (formerly Arrow Group):

Our vision is to shape the future of work through furniture design that is both intelligent and enduring. We believe workplaces should do more than simply function, they should feel intuitive and cohesive, with future needs in mind. That belief drives our approach to creating furniture solutions that are not only fit for today, but adaptable for what comes next.

Everything we design is guided by three core beliefs. It must look beautiful, bringing a refined and confident aesthetic to every product. It must work intuitively, supporting the people who use it with clarity and ease. And it must be realised through the most resource-effective approach, where intelligent design minimises waste, works well as a system and maximises longevity.

This is how Formetiq delivers furniture design solutions that are trusted for the next generation of work.

In-surface power, charge and data transfer from Metalicon

Our new in-surface modules offer power, charging and data connections for meeting tables. Easy to install and daisy-chain, Powerstrip provides an ideal solution for creating collaborative working spaces for teams.

Powerstrip, together with our Boost desktop modules, Click hidden in-surface modules and Solo Plus porthole modules, connects seamlessly to our Powerlink under desk modules using GST 3-pole cables.

Powerstrip configurations include 2 power sockets, USB-A and USB-C charging ports, as well as a HDMI 2.0 port for connecting to TV screens or projectors and RJ45 for Cat6 data connections. The handy GST male drop cable enables quick and easy daisy chaining to other Metalicon power modules.

The in-surface power module can be installed into a pre-cut hole in a matter of minutes, simply drop into place and secure using the clamps from underneath. Like Boost and Solo Plus modules Click is fully tested and certified to BS 5733 and available in black and white.
