ScS and Furniture Village are among the BFM’s first retailer members.
The association launched its Approved Retailer category at the January Furniture Show, welcoming retailers into the organisation for the first time as members.
‘We believe there are great benefits in helping to raise the awareness of our incredible industry and importance of our British manufacturing base. Having the ability to support and play our part was a key driver in our decision to join the BFM. As the largest family-owned furniture retailer in the UK, we will be proud to share with our customers the benefits of buying British and highlight our support for the British manufacturing industry,’ says Charlie Harrison, Furniture Village md.
‘For 128 years ScS has supported British furniture manufacturing. As one of the leading furniture retailers in the UK we are delighted to be an inaugural retail member of the BFM. We’re proud to support UK manufacturing and UK jobs. We look forward to playing an active role within the BFM, and in particular work across the industry to support the development of new talent and career paths helping create exciting career opportunities for everyone, no matter what your background. The furniture business is a dynamic and exciting industry. I’m delighted that the BFM is welcoming retailers to join the association and that we can work together to promote the industry and UK manufacturing,’ says James Heese, ScS commercial director.
