Devonshire is proud to receive the award for Best Dining Room Supplier. With its roots in pine manufacturing dating back 32 years, Devonshire now imports and wholesales cabinet furniture around the UK from its 200,000sqft warehouse and offices in Bideford, Devon.
With its own fleet of vehicles, third- party pallet service and a DHD partner, Devonshire offers flexible delivery solutions, while maintaining more than £3m of stock on site, keeping lead times to a minimum.
With a strong background in bedroom furniture, the company has been working to fortify its dining and occasional offer in recent years, introducing new ranges in a mix of materials such as sintered stone and glass, as well as the more traditional styles it is known for.
‘To have our dining offer acknowledged with this award, and in such a high-profile category, is a real testament to the hard work that the Devonshire team have been putting into product development, quality control and customer service. Many thanks to everyone who voted for us,’ says Nicolle Hockin, Devonshire md.
Devonshire has launched three ranges this year, with another following at this year’s INDX show later in August. Wiltshire Oak is a country cottage-style washed oak dining and occasional collection, with popular quirky pieces such as the tall display unit standing out from the crowd. Wiltshire Painted follows the same design as the dining, but as a painted version only available in bedroom. Both of these ranges have been received well by the trade, with their traditional shape but contemporary finish being a timeless addition to any shop floor.
Also launched earlier this year was the Scandi-style Bergen range, a minimalistic collection that relies on its superior finish and simple elegance, with a pop of colour on the dining chairs to add interest and liveliness. Bergen is available in bedroom and dining, with stock arriving in the Autumn.
Launching at INDX is Lydford Oak, a bedroom range extending from Devonshire’s best-selling Lydford Painted collection, which won an award for Outstanding Supplier Product this season. The stand-out piece is the Quad wardrobe, an imposing piece perfect for advertising and increasing footfall, as well as being a good seller due to its numerous storage options.
‘We are still very much focused on product development, currently taking particular inspiration from the Australian market and tweaking it for the UK, which has been fun to explore,’ says Hockin.
