Basingstoke, England -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/27/2010 -- Chic Teak, a leading UK supplier of high quality, sustainably sourced teak garden furniture and garden furniture sets, have recently visited their manufacturers and suppliers in Java.

Robert Bowden, who is one of the key partners in the Chic Teak business, made the arduous trip over to the town of Japara via a flight to Dubai, followed by a stop in Jakarta before moving on again to Semarang. Chic Teak have had links with traders in the area since they started their operation over fifteen years ago, and Robert was delighted to meet up with five of his suppliers as well as study paperwork and tour the factory.

As well as discussing new design ideas for wood garden furniture, Robert was also able to garner some insight into how the teak trade is performing in Java and develop a new sales strategy, with news arriving that the government is likely to limit the felling of teak plantations from next year onwards.

"Robert was delighted to meet with some old and new acquaintances on his recent visit to the Japara area, and also had the pleasure of meeting some new breeds of bugs and insects!" says Sarah Bowden of Chic Teak. "Though the journey was long and exhausting, Robert feels the expedition was well worth the trouble and has come back with lots of ideas on how Chic Teak can grow and progress as a business. He also managed to squeeze in a visit to see his son, Charlie, play in an international inter-schools cricket tournament, coming runners up to an impressive New Zealand team."

Chic Teak have been seeking planning permission for the new warehouse for eleven months due to the rapid growth of their business, meaning they have had to increase their stock of high quality wood garden furniture. They have, as such, needed a proper storage facility for some time and are delighted that the local council granted them access to change the use of a barn on their property from 14 April onward to store stock.

A family business, Chic Teak started life as a diversification of farming, and still has many family members involved today. Their current storage facility is located just off Junction 7 of the M3, ensuring that storage containers arriving from Southampton have easy access when delivering stock.

"Our stock has seen a gradual increase over time, with both online and offline sales growing steadily, and more storage was very much needed.

Basingstoke, England -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/26/2010 -- Chic Teak, a leading UK supplier of high quality, sustainably sourced teak garden furniture and garden furniture sets, have commented on the state of the international teak industry.

Chic Teak have been supplying high quality teak garden furniture sets to the UK for over fifteen years and obtain their products straight from the source in Java. On a recent trip however, Chic Teak were informed that the Javanese government has recently announced that future teak felling will have to be significantly reduced until the balance has been restored. Although trees are being replanted at a phenomenal rate due to heavy over-logging in the 1990s, they still take over sixty years to fully mature meaning it may be some time until normal felling rates resume.

Chic Teak estimate that due to continuing demand and the state of the international markets, teak prices are going to have to increase by approximately twenty-five per cent. As the price of the raw material will rise by 25%, it will also inevitably mean a rise in finished furniture prices. Chic Teak are keen to stress however that teak furniture should be seen as an excellent long-term investment and will always outlast standard wood garden furniture by decades.

"Though it may seem like a bit of a blow, we have to point out what a wonderful investment teak garden furniture is for your garden, and how much stronger and attractive it is than ordinary wood garden products," says Sarah Bowden of Chic Teak. "On a personal level we have teak furniture in our garden between fifteen and thirty years old - still going strong, still attractive and still durable. Teak has properties that no other available furniture sets have, so you know once you're buying a set then you won't have to buy much else further down the line. We are still able to offer some of the most affordable teak furniture rates on the marketplace, and can answer any questions you may have about the industry if you contact us through our website."

Basingstoke, UK -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/25/2010 -- Chic Teak, a leading UK supplier of high quality, sustainably sourced teak garden furniture and garden furniture sets, have recently attended shows and expos hosted by their charity partners to help raise awareness in the local area.

When first starting their business selling high quality and affordable wood garden furniture, Chic Teak used to attend a vast number of shows to raise awareness of their brand and promote their furniture range. Though their rate of show attendance has dropped over the years, as measures such as online marketing have generated a lot of their business, they are still attending local events within the community and assisting local charities with donations and support.

Thrive have long been helping the disabled to recover through garden-based therapies and activities, and Chic Teak spent a sunny 10 March at The Thrive Garden Project near Reading, also donating a number of teak garden chairs and benches to the garden. Chic Teak also support the Wellbeing Of Women charity (WOW) and attended their annual garden fair on 6 May. WOW does everything it can to fund vital research into women's health and quality of life issues, and Chic Teak were part of a sizeable turnout at Home Farm Barn, located at Farleigh Wallop.

"We think it is vital to attend important festivals to show support for our friends and local charities," says Sarah Bowden of Chic Teak. "Thrive and Wellbeing Of Women are just two of the many local charities we support, and we were delighted to attend and be part of their wonderfully organised festivities. We were also proud to donate some furniture for the benefit of the charities, and look forward to seeing them again soon in the coming months."
