An elongate central member 22 is connected, in conventional manner, to the rear member 21 and extends towards the front wall 12. The partition arrangement 19 also includes a side member 23 connected to the rear member 21 and extends towards the front wall 12, and a front member 24 which extends from the side member 23 towards the central member 22.

Further members 25 are connected to the partition arrangement 19 as shown in the drawing. The various members of the partition arrangement 19 are of conventional construction for connecting together to form a plurality of workstations 26 which provide for comfortable accommodation for staff and achieve the optimum usage of space. Thus, with this arrangement a total of eight workstations to accommodate a total of eight staff are created, each workstations being indicated by the letter "W". It will be appreciated that at each of the workstations, a table top (not shown) will be connected and supported on the various members of the partition arrangement.

An additional partition arrangement 27 is provided adjacent to the right wall 15 comprising a rear member 21' and a central member 22' extending towards the front wall 12. Further members 25' are connected to the rear and central members 21', 22', to provide three further workstations W'.
