Welcome to June’s issue! It’s been a frantic month for the Furniture News team, but we’re relieved to see the summer shaping up to be a little more positive than what’s gone before. Next month sees Manchester Furniture Show back in town, building on last year’s spirited revival, and we’ve the complete lowdown!
From the bedroom sector, Hypnos and Simba celebrate their latest achievements, while 100% Comfort and Harrison Spinks give us the inside scoop on their new luxury pillows.
Other highlights include an introduction to Presti AI’s new video capabilities, the latest from Meridian Upholstery, and interviews with Oak & Honey’s Ella Taslaman, Trago Mills’ James Hollas and Heal’s Hamish Mansbridge – plus columns on keeping the right members of staff, brand authenticity, D2C selling, and EU legal disputes.
But that’s not all … we’ve also gone all out to deliver a supplement dedicated to the furniture businesses of Long Eaton. To help put the town’s manufacturers, showrooms, suppliers and unique qualities on the map, we’ve quizzed industry stakeholders including Adam Thompson MP, WEBS Training, the Long Eaton Guild and more to find out why Long Eaton deserves to be branded the UK Centre of Quality Upholstery Manufacture – and much more besides!
