A firm known for attention to detail, quality and the use of traditional techniques to manufacture exceptional British-made upholstery. \u201cWe\u2019ve been in business together for 12 years but have known each other for 25 years longer than that,\u201d says Andrew of Paul. So long in fact, they can\u2019t remember how they know each other in the first place. \u201cThat\u2019s a very good question. Everyone knows everyone here through furniture. I\u2019m an upholsterer who wanted to be a frame-maker. He\u2019s a frame-maker who wanted to be an upholsterer,\u201d says Paul. \u201cWe worked with each other for a long time before we set up a business&nbsp;together.\u201d<\/p>\n<h6 id=\"quality-in-demand\">QUALITY IN DEMAND<\/h6>\n<p>As both came up through the ranks of the factory floor, they are armed with the knowledge of how things should be done.

But they quickly grew into a business supplying quality furniture and bespoke pieces to some of the UK\u2019s best-loved brands. Starting out with just eight employees, the firm now has 180, doubling in size in the past&nbsp;year.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_13243\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13243\" style=\"width: 364px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-13243\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/FACTORY_9_068_bw-2358379.jpg?resize=364%2C546&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"British-made upholstery\" width=\"364\" height=\"546\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/FACTORY_9_068_bw-2358379.jpg?w=2000&amp;ssl=1 2000w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/FACTORY_9_068_bw-2358379.jpg?resize=200%2C300&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/FACTORY_9_068_bw-2358379.jpg?resize=683%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 683w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/FACTORY_9_068_bw-2358379.jpg?resize=768%2C1152&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/FACTORY_9_068_bw-2358379.jpg?resize=1024%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/FACTORY_9_068_bw-2358379.jpg?resize=1365%2C2048&amp;ssl=1 1365w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/FACTORY_9_068_bw-2358379.jpg?resize=110%2C165&amp;ssl=1 110w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/FACTORY_9_068_bw-2358379.jpg?resize=300%2C450&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/FACTORY_9_068_bw-2358379.jpg?resize=380%2C570&amp;ssl=1 380w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/FACTORY_9_068_bw-2358379.jpg?resize=800%2C1200&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/FACTORY_9_068_bw-2358379.jpg?resize=1160%2C1740&amp;ssl=1 1160w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/FACTORY_9_068_bw-2358379.jpg?resize=220%2C330&amp;ssl=1 220w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/FACTORY_9_068_bw-2358379.jpg?resize=600%2C900&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/FACTORY_9_068_bw-2358379.jpg?resize=760%2C1140&amp;ssl=1 760w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/FACTORY_9_068_bw-2358379.jpg?resize=1600%2C2400&amp;ssl=1 1600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/FACTORY_9_068_bw-2358379.jpg?resize=400%2C600&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/FACTORY_9_068_bw-2358379.jpg?resize=1536%2C2304&amp;ssl=1 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 364px) 100vw, 364px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-13243\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Traditional techniques of framemaking and upholstery go into every sofa, including solid wood frames for long-lasting strength<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s a real demand for quality British-made upholstery at the moment,\u201d Paul continues. They always use hardwoods beech and birch from FSC-approved forests, which are delivered as sliced tree trunks and shaped in the wood mill. In addition, they use traditional techniques like glue, screw and dowel, as well as some other trade secrets that they won\u2019t share. That\u2019s not to say they aren\u2019t open to change. \u201cEvery day is a school day,\u201d says Paul. \u201cWe\u2019re learning all the time. It&#8217;s a different industry to the one we entered. There used to be two or three models. People would have a suite of furniture that they would re-cover two or three times over their lifetime. Now there are many different models and people will update them depending on the trend. It used to be that upholstery followed fashion, but now fashion follows&nbsp;upholstery.\u201d<\/p>\n<h6 id=\"a-local-legacy\">A LOCAL LEGACY<\/h6>\n<p>Matt has worked here for a decade. \u201cI did my apprenticeship when I left school. I had a Derby County season ticket and whenever I saw Paul at matches I would ask him for a job until he gave in,\u201d he laughs. Long Eaton is close to the county boundary, and represents Derbyshire\u2019s last frontier before it gives way to Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire. It\u2019s a former mill town, where the history of upholstery is woven into the very fabric of the place. It was once famous for making Nottingham lace &#8211; in 1907, no fewer than 4,000 of its townspeople were employed in its making. As demand declined in the post-war era, their skills were put to use making upholstery for the rail&nbsp;industry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe whole area used to be railway sidings and when I was a kid we\u2019d go exploring,\u201d says Andrew. \u201cI still have a pitchfork I found that would have been used to load hay onto the trains.\u201d Long Eaton was the place trains would be repaired and repainted. Even the local pub is called the Tappers Harker, named after the men who would tap the railway carriage wheels and listen to hear if they were cracked. The soaring brick wood mill where the frames are made used to be a train shed, and still has its cranes and windows&nbsp;intact.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_13249\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13249\" style=\"width: 379px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cotswoldco.com\/sofas-and-armchairs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-13249\" style=\"color: #000000;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/CotswoldCo-factory_Joanne-Crawford-260-9218263.jpg?resize=379%2C389&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Upholstery fabrics\" width=\"379\" height=\"389\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/CotswoldCo-factory_Joanne-Crawford-260-9218263.jpg?w=1329&amp;ssl=1 1329w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/CotswoldCo-factory_Joanne-Crawford-260-9218263.jpg?resize=293%2C300&amp;ssl=1 293w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/CotswoldCo-factory_Joanne-Crawford-260-9218263.jpg?resize=999%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 999w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/CotswoldCo-factory_Joanne-Crawford-260-9218263.jpg?resize=768%2C787&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/CotswoldCo-factory_Joanne-Crawford-260-9218263.jpg?resize=110%2C113&amp;ssl=1 110w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/CotswoldCo-factory_Joanne-Crawford-260-9218263.jpg?resize=300%2C307&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/CotswoldCo-factory_Joanne-Crawford-260-9218263.jpg?resize=380%2C389&amp;ssl=1 380w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/CotswoldCo-factory_Joanne-Crawford-260-9218263.jpg?resize=800%2C820&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/CotswoldCo-factory_Joanne-Crawford-260-9218263.jpg?resize=1160%2C1189&amp;ssl=1 1160w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/CotswoldCo-factory_Joanne-Crawford-260-9218263.jpg?resize=220%2C225&amp;ssl=1 220w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/CotswoldCo-factory_Joanne-Crawford-260-9218263.jpg?resize=600%2C615&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/CotswoldCo-factory_Joanne-Crawford-260-9218263.jpg?resize=760%2C779&amp;ssl=1 760w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.cotswoldco.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/CotswoldCo-factory_Joanne-Crawford-260-9218263.jpg?resize=585%2C600&amp;ssl=1 585w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 379px) 100vw, 379px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-13249\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">We have over 30 beautiful fabrics to choose from, all inspired by the Cotswolds<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h6 id=\"centre-of-excellence\">CENTRE OF EXCELLENCE<\/h6>\n<p>Today, over 2,700 people are employed in the upholstery industry in Long Eaton.

We met on our apprenticeship. We\u2019ve been on holiday together, our kids grew up together.\u201d The youngest person who works at the factory is 18. The oldest employee is Roy, one of the cutters, who is 84. \u201cAnd we\u2019re just about to take on 10 apprentices,\u201d says Andrew. \u201cThe apprenticeships last two to three years and uniquely, our apprentices work on every station. We like people to gain an understanding of the complete makings of a sofa. That way, if someone is sick it means another person can fill in for them. Rather than relying on contract&nbsp;workers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2018s clear that quality can never be taken for granted. Rather than use MDF and staples to construct frames, we always make sure solid wood frames are used. \u201cHere we put our names to our products with pride,\u201d concludes Matt \u2013 and that\u2018s a philosophy we can certainly get&nbsp;behind.<\/p>\n<p>View our full range of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cotswoldco.com\/sofas-and-armchairs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">British-made Upholstery online.<\/a> For more inspiration and stories about new collections, follow along<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/cotswoldco\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">&nbsp;@cotswoldco<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"We travel to the former mill town, Long Eaton to meet the suppliers of sofas to the Cotswold&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":13245,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[],"coauthors":[32],"class_list":{"0":"post-13237","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-home-inspiration"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\r\n<title>Quality &amp;
