A STITCH IN TIME
A short summary of where we came from and how the business has grown over the past 20 years.
1999
A large workshop is built in John's back garden then our upholstery business is born. Offering full seating refurbishments and repairs for small minibuses as well as dining chairs, pads, and so on for the public.
2003
Ryan dropeed out of collge to focus on the business, sending out leaflets and making phone calls to promote our upholstery services. He works closely with his Grandad to learn the trade.
2006
John left his regular job and joined the business full time. We moved to new larger premises, offering more services and a yard to take in larger orders for upholstery on vehicles.
2008
We moved to a large manufacturing unit which allows us to increase our output. We tailored our operation to the re-covering of single or double deck bus seating in one day as well as working with anumber of pubs and restaurants.
2013
We acquired 'Bobbie Burns Upholstery', a well-known upholstery brand and after a major refurbishment of the building, we open up our first shop to the public.
2015
We opened a second shop in Bristol, expanding our high street presence and offering upholstery services and brand new furniture to our customers with a showroom experience.
2016
We purchase our North Street shop and workshop, rooting solid foundations on the high street in BS3 and begin a major overhaul of the building.
2018
We outgrew our workshop, so we purchased a 11,000 sq. foot unit for our upholstery operation. After some TLC, our team was thrilled with the extra space and better set up to serve our customers across the UK.
