Sourcing from across the globe – handmade mattresses from Yorkshire, bespoke marble-top tables from Italy, precision engineered wardrobes from Germany – we offer beautiful furniture and accessories for every room in the home.

Our people

In the words of our founder and CEO Peter Harrison: “we employ nice people to sell nice furniture to nice customers”. And it’s our people that are the very key to our success. Inspired by meaningful training, progression and rewards – not to mention fun – there’s a reason over 20% of our team has received long service awards, it’s because they want to stay!
