GUARDSMAN
Guardsman is delighted to have been recognised once again in the Interiors Monthly Awards, winning Best Product Protection Provider in 2026: marking its tenth win of the industry accolade.
‘Winning any award is a proud achievement, but being named Best Product Protection Provider (Furniture) and retaining the confidence of the industry is particularly special. It is recognition not only of the Guardsman brand, but of the people behind it: our teams, technicians, retail partners and everyone who works hard every day to deliver the service, expertise and support our customers rely on,’ says Ryan White, Guardsman head of sales UK and RoI.
‘This award belongs to our team. Their commitment, knowledge and passion are the reason we have been able to maintain such a valued position within the furniture industry. From customer service and claims handling to sales support, technical expertise, product development and our national technician network, every part of the business plays a role in upholding the standards associated with Guardsman.’
‘To the retailers who trust us, the customers who choose us and the industry colleagues who support Guardsman, thank you. Your confidence means a great deal and inspires us to keep improving. While this win is an opportunity to celebrate, it is also a reminder of our responsibility to keep moving forward,’ says Andy Leech, Guardsman head of strategic partnerships.
‘The award comes at an exciting time, as the business continues to invest in service improvements, digital processes, retailer education and product innovation. As customer expectations evolve, we are also taking a more considered view of the environmental impact of our care products, kits and packaging. This includes introducing an enhanced stain remover solution within our furniture insurance plan, replacing the previous single-use wipe format and improving the support we provide to customers.
‘Further work is planned to explore the environmental impact of our products, ensuring future development continues to balance performance, practicality and responsible innovation.
