Unique Fair Trade Furniture Company, Relocatable

Can we grab your attention with our unique offer?  We are an established B to C Fair Trade Furniture company, offering unique Swedish designed furniture for any indoor space, from summerhouses & garden buildings to conservatories, garden rooms and any space in the home.

Our furniture is manufactured by hand, using natural materials, by our Fair Trade partners in Indonesia, with cushions added here in the UK, meaning that the final design of each set of furniture is as unique as our customers.

Established for 16 years, with a turnover of circa £350,000 and a profit of 10 - 15%, the business is fully portable.

We currently run the business from our home in Dorset, where we have a home showroom and workshop and warehouse space at a local farm.

Our route to market includes a strong online presence, direct to customers through garden shows such as Malvern Spring, Hampton Court Flower Show, Tatton Park and Burghley Horse trials and with a strong display partnership with a nation wide supplier of garden buildings.

The opportunity is for either a couple, individual or a company to take over the business and build it to the next level.

• We have a very strong and loyal customer base  who value the quality of both the product and the customer experience that we offer.  We are delighted that at each show we attend we have visits from our customers who tell us how pleased they are with our furniture, sometimes many years later - our customers are our biggest advocates and often speak to our prospects to encourage them to buy!
• We have a limited social media presence, using Facebook and Instagram, but the opportunity is there to work to increase awareness in that area.
• We currently attend 6 shows a year, again the opportunity exists to exhibit at many more shows.
• Our market is 95% UK based at present, we have not tapped the European or international markets, so again a vast opportunity.
• Although our furniture is currently all 'indoor' we have designs for similar outdoor furniture (and have offered them on a limited basis in the past).  We are in the process of commissioning new prototypes of our outdoor designs, which extends the offer considerably.  A further opportunity...

We hope that the above will give you a taste of what we are about - please take a look at the photos and the short video where Hugh will give you a brief resume of the Fair Trade Furniture journey.
