BRITISH BRANDS STAND TALL
AT JANUARY FURNITURE SHOW 2020
An essential component of the UK’s economy, furniture, bed and
furnishings manufacturing in the UK is worth £17.5 billion per annum
and collectively employs 338,000 people throughout the UK.
January Furniture Show is the UK’s premier furniture and interiors
event and is the best place to see the greatest concentration of the
‘Best of British’ manufacturing. Birmingham’s NEC - the UK’s largest
exhibition venue, will once again play host to JFS in 2020, with the
4-day trade show running from 19th - 22nd January.
“Synonymous with quality, style, outstanding design and craftsmanship,
British Furniture is held in high esteem throughout the world”, says
Cleere Scamell, January Furniture Show Event Director. “The mix of
designs and inventiveness on show from British companies is second
to none”, continued Cleere. “We have a full complement of prestigious
British companies in upholstery, beds cabinet and accessories showing
at JFS in 2020 and we are proud to provide the optimum arena for
them to display their ingenuity, creativity and desirable furniture.”

Westbridge and Whitemeadow being just some of the big names

Regular exhibitors Tetrad have huge expertise in making traditional
British designs look brand new with their Heritage, Harris Tweed
