Lisa McNicholl Completes Product Training at Markant's Malaysian HQ

An Investment in Product Knowledge

The quality of the advice we give our clients is only as good as the depth of our product knowledge. That's why we invest in direct supplier training — not just brochures and specification sheets, but time spent at the manufacturer's facility, understanding how the products are engineered, what problems they solve, and how to specify them most effectively.

Lisa McNicholl — Director of Bishop Interiors' New Zealand operations — recently spent two intensive days with Markant at their headquarters in Malaysia, completing the manufacturer's product training programme.

What the Training Covered

Markant's training programme is comprehensive. It covers the full product range across desking, workstations, collaborative furniture, and acoustic systems — the engineering principles behind each product, the range of configurations and finishes available, the application contexts where each product excels, and the technical details that matter for specification and installation.

The training also includes time on the factory floor, which is always illuminating. Seeing how a product is actually made — the materials, the tolerances, the quality control processes — gives you a level of confidence in what you're specifying that no specification sheet can provide.

What It Means for Our Clients

The immediate beneficiary of this investment is you. When you work with Bishop Interiors on a Markant specification, you're working with a team that understands the products at a deeper level than most — and can therefore give you better advice, better configurations, and better outcomes.
