Last year the BCFA was privileged to visit Shackletons Ltd in Dewsbury. Dewsbury is quite a hotspot of furnishings manufacturing and there are a number of BCFA members who manufacture in this immediate area.
Mary was taken around the showroom and factory by Jason Bloom who is their National Sales Manager but also takes a hand in some of their product design.
The bright and airy showroom showcased some of their original designs including the extraordinary stand display that they had used at the Manchester Open the year before. This demonstrated through cross section the construction quality and methodology behind their upholstery.
The factory is an excellent example of lean manufacturing. Every item is made bespoke to order with minimal waste and maximum skill. Shackletons are fortunate to have some key suppliers in the immediate vicinity which enables them to keep low stock levels for an efficient throughput. Shackletons are specialist suppliers to the Healthcare sector and are very proud of their tight, efficient build turnaround business and uphold The Shackletons Promise.
