LONDON, ENGLAND, January 23, 2011

Twenga, the most comprehensive search engine, has found that Brits are preparing their homes for the expected rise in remote working in 2011 : searches for desks increased by 138%, computer desks increased by 130% and for writing desks by 122%.

As Britain moves closer to superfast broadband for all, Twenga has observed a corresponding rise in searches for home office products: Brits have also been checking the best prices for filing cabinets, up 151%, and office chairs, up 46%. The remote office may not be a paperless office, however, as searches for shelf cubes have also risen, by 163%.
