Thank you for taking time out of your day to view my profile.I’ve been involved in the furniture industry since leaving school, upholstery more specifically. From the moment I started I knew then this was not going to be a job for me but a hobby, and hobby I was incredibly passionate about.I was told by my trainer not long after I started that I had a natural knack a natural ability for upholstery and if I stick the first few years out I’d have a job for life, from then I had thoughts of owning a global British made upholstery business making furniture of high quality but affordable to as many budgets as possible.In 2007 at the age of 23 I got the opportunity to start my own business, and I grabbed it with both hands, no hesitation I just jumped straight in, I knew then that I was prepared to do whatever it took to reach my goal, working 120 hour weeks sleeping in the my unit, giving up my social life, not getting paid for months on end I was prepared to do that and I did, I experienced all that and more and yet I still never lost the determination to build a global business.Fast forward to 2017, I finally managed to buy out my business partner and really take things to the next level, I found and met some amazing people who joined me and shared in my goal and vision and together we set off on our journey of rapid growth with all the ups and downs that come with that, we now, in 2020 find ourselves with a fantastic team, an extraordinary client base in multiple sectors, an amazing factory, and dedicated suppliers, manufacturing products literally going to all corners of the world.Every single client big and small are important to me, without them we can’t go any further, I’m overly passionate and hugely grateful for every order we get I still get a fantastic feeling every time we receive an order, I’m grateful and proud that clients trust and believe in us to complete their orders.I have a goal to be one of the most respected and sought after furniture manufacturing brands in the UK by 2030, in the process creating safe secure and well paid jobs for our tremendous team who make all this possible, and a business that can leave a positive lasting impression on everybody that interacts with us.Feel free to contact me if you think you can help us get to that goal or if you want to work with us, a passionate and dedicated company who want to make quality products at exceptional value.Jonathan.
