The Furniture Makers’ Company has further added it its growing corporate membership.
Sealy UK has become the latest company to join, almost three years after it was bought by Tempur Sealy.
‘As we celebrate our 50th anniversary, Sealy is in a fantastic position to once again establish itself as a leader in the UK mattress industry. With our owners having invested millions in our Cumbria manufacturing site and following the successful launch of our all-new product range, the decision to join the furniture industry’s historic livery company marks another important step in our resurgence,’ says Mark Tuley, Sealy UK cco.
‘We’ve seen significant growth over the last six months, and are now keen to raise our profile and once again become more vocal within our sector. Joining the Furniture Makers’ Company is a positive move for the business, giving us great opportunities for networking and increasing understanding of Sealy UK’s journey among peers, suppliers and retailers, as well as supporting our programme of charitable initiatives.
‘We are extremely fortunate in the UK to have such a unique collective which brings together and represents all parts of the industry. Being a member of the Furniture Makers’ Company is a badge of honour and we are proud to support it.’
Sealy will be formally welcomed as a corporate member at an admission ceremony next month.
‘It’s great to see such a well-known name in the UK mattress sector overcoming challenges and re-positioning itself within the market. The business recognises that corporate membership can help support its ambitious growth vision, and has also taken up the mantle of playing an active role in the industry and contributing to its future,’ says Amanda Waring, Furniture Makers’ Company master.
