2019 has got off to a big and busy start for Whitemeadow. We kicked off the year with our best-ever performance at the January Furniture Show, followed by a very successful return to the Long Eaton show circuit in April. Add to this a new collaboration with The Branded Furniture Company (Whitemeadow are the chosen manufacturer for the new Orla Kiely upholstery range) and increasing the Content by Terence Conran range, and it’s easy to see why we have high hopes for our return to the Manchester Furniture Show next month.

Once again, we’ll be showcasing a range of house upholstery, beds and occasional pieces, plus a selection of Content by Terence Conran models. As the chosen manufacturer of The Branded Furniture Company, we will also be presenting a range of new Orla Kiely Upholstery models.

The design and development team have been busy visiting shows throughout Europe to source new fabrics and incorporate the latest trends into their ranges, allowing us to offer our customers styles that are specifically suited to their market and budget.

“We’ve got a lot of new big projects we’re working on this year, which are all very exciting and challenging  at the same time”, says Sales Director Paul Wesson.

The branded furniture market is one area that Whitemeadow are looking to develop further this year. A new Content by Terence Conran Northern Showroom was opened in April at our Sutton In Ashfield site, and The Branded Furniture Company have chosen the Whitemeadow Orchard Way site as the home of the Orla Kiely Upholstery Showroom.

Head of Group Sales, Daniel Oscroft, commented “We love coming to the Manchester Furniture Show as it provides us with a vital mid-year touchpoint with our customers, and our offering just keeps getting bigger and better each year so it’s definitely a firm favourite on our calendar!”

Whitemeadow will be exhibiting in the Cobden Room in the foyer area of Manchester Central from the 14^th-16^th July.

Congratulations to Sir Terence Conran from all at Whitemeadow on being presented with a Lifetime Achievement Award this week.

Sir Terence Conran, one of the world’s best-known designers, retailers and restaurateurs, has been given a Lifetime Achievement Award by The Furniture Makers’ Company, the City of London livery company and charity for the furnishing industry, in recognition for his outstanding contribution to the design and furnishing sector.

Commenting on the award, Sir Terence said: “In my heart I have always considered myself a furniture maker, it has given me more pleasure than anything else during my rather long career. As a very young boy I vividly remember the absolute joy of finally finishing making my very own bookcase and it has been in my bloodstream ever since. So it was truly thrilling to be recognised by The Furniture Makers’ Company and to enjoy a very special evening with fellow craftspeople who share my love of making furniture. One of my big fears is that as a nation we often appear to have lost the joy of making things so it was uplifting to be surrounded by passionate furniture makers and see that the talent and passion in our industry burns as brightly as ever.”

Whitemeadow are delighted to announce that they will re-open their Independent Showroom during the 29^th April, 30^th April and 1^st May.

The UK’s largest independent upholstery manufacturer has had a two-year break from exhibiting during the Long Point show weeks due to relocation and refurbishment of its Design and Development Centre.

Sales Director Paul Wesson commented “We’ve taken some time to really focus on the space we felt we needed in order to inspire and excite our independent customers. It’s taken a while, but we are very happy with what we have achieved. We felt the Content by Terence Conran range deserved its own branded area, and the Conran brand have fully embraced this by deciding to exhibit its cabinet product alongside the upholstery, so we have in effect created a Northern Conran Showroom, which will be open all year on an appointment-based system. There is also a dedicated branded area for Hypnos too, where we will showcase our exclusive collaboration with them- the first ever Hypnos Sofa Bed mattress. All in all, we’ve got some fantastic products to show our customers and we look forward to welcoming customers, old and new!”

In addition to Conran and Hypnos, Whitemeadow will also be showcasing a large selection of Whitemeadow sofas, beds, sofa beds and accent pieces.
