The Company was originally founded in 1964 by John Jenkins in North East London as an upholstery renovation business. Joined by his son Grahame, in 1985, the company went into office seating manufacture that year and began selling all over the UK.

They moved to Essex in 1991 and began to concentrate their business around 'Trade' upholstery as cheap imports in the Office Seating sector had made this part of the business unviable. The 'Trade' work proved highly successful and accounted for around 30% of their work back then. It is by no coincidence that whatever type of trade seating orders they won, they always included the best possible customer in that field, i.e. Banqueting chairs for G.N Burgess & Co, Sofas for Sinclair Melson Ltd, Office seating for Verco Office Furniture, over 30,000 stadium chairs for Audience Systems Ltd and so the list goes on - over the years some go, some stay and some come back.......

The renovation side of their business was pushed in the direction of Auditorium seating, mainly because the 'set-up' to do volume work for trade customers allowed them to be competitive in this field. Having their own separate installation teams - which have also become very successful in their own right -means they do not need to sub-contract this important element of a project thus keeping control of all aspects of a contract.

Another area of upholstery covered by this small but hugely diverse family business is custom built seating. They love a challenge and you'll be amazed at their capabilities. They made all of the custom built seating at the Great Eastern Hotel in the City of London for Terrance Conran's CD Partnership.
