The campaign to recognise the next generation of furnishing industry leaders has begun.
The Furniture Makers’ Company has launched the call for entries for its 60th anniversary campaign, ‘60 for 60’, honouring 60 outstanding people aged 35 or under working in the furniture and furnishing industry.
The 60 will be named in the autumn.
‘The Furniture Makers’ Company has brought together some of the most influential people and recognised brands from the furnishing sector with the purpose of cultivating bonds of fellowship and fortifying the industry though charitable endeavours. Instead of reflecting on past successes, we’re shifting our focus to the future and honouring the incredible young individuals who will shape the furniture and furnishing industry going forward. By acknowledging their talent, we hope to demonstrate that the industry values their growth and offers a lifelong profession. This is not only an excellent opportunity for young people within our sector to get recognition as “ones to watch”’ but also for the company where they work, so we encourage businesses to put forward their talent for this great prize,’ says Amanda Waring, MFC master.
‘We would like to thank the companies who have signed up in support of the campaign, particularly our principal partners AIS, Biesse UK, Castelan, Furniture Village and Tempur.’
