About Bill Leach

An entrepreneur at heart, I love the challenge of building innovative companies. Flip Office Furnishings (QOL Office Furniture) is the result of 40 years of personal experience merged with the expertise of a team of office furniture professionals. We provide the comprehensive knowledge to efficiently disassemble large office workplaces, recycling and re-allocating these materials and reducing both economic and ecological costs. We participate in the nationwide network of office furniture procurement which enables us to resell and re-utilize a large portion of the furniture we handle. We have the in-house capabilities to disassemble & reinstall complex furniture projects. We work closely with dealers, designers; move coordinators, facilities consultants and managers to provide optimum solutions to enhance value, reduce cost and meet overall corporate objectives for surplus furniture inventories. Over the past 25 years, WKLeach/Quality Office Liquidations/Flip Office Furnishings has completed liquidation projects up to 2200 offices. During this time we estimate that we have been responsible for the removal of over pounds of office furniture with less than 10% finding its’ way to land fill. Since 1991, we have successfully completed projects for many Fortune 500 companies.Specialties: Office Furniture Sales, Move Logistics, National Network, Business Development, Distribution and Management
