Kenny will be the one helping you choose your furniture. Kenny has a great natural talent for putting all our new volunteers at ease and is a continued favourite with many of our regular customers.

He is a favourite with many of our regular customers. Oli gets on with everyone and always has a smile on his face, his positive attitude is infectious throughout the team and he is a true asset for Furniturelink.
