Sofa so good as Bolton firm tastes suite success

Many British manufacturers face pressure to switch production to places like Eastern Europe and China in order to cut costs and compete with foreign companies. However, some continue to defy this trend by focusing on their strengths; high-quality products, expertise and reliable delivery.

One such company that is proud to remain British in this way is Bolton’s Saxon Leather. Saxon makes high-quality leather suites, settees, chairs and other furniture from its Lancashire factory, and is celebrating 25 years of superior craftsmanship and consistent growth, despite a decline in British manufacturing.

Indeed, the only thing Saxon is taking abroad is products; not jobs. For example, the company has taken orders for Chesterfield sofas and other leather suites for foreign embassies as far away as New York and Kuala Lumpur. Saxon proudly flies the flag for quality British craftsmanship, exporting leather suites, chairs and settees to adorn the reception areas of homes, hotels, offices and even palaces all over the world.

The quintessentially British Chesterfield sofa has recently enjoyed a resurgence in popularity, thanks in part to being featured in the recent Celebrity Big Brother house. It could, of course, be argued that the classic, prestigious style of the Chesterfield sofa was one of the few examples of sophistication and taste to be featured on that particular show.

With traditional British manufacturing supposedly in downturn, many companies see shifting production abroad as being the only way to compete with overseas manufacturers. However, Saxon’s MD, Robert Jolly, believes the key to their success lies in the company’s unswerving commitment to providing the highest quality leather furniture:

“We are a family firm who still value a quality product and a personalised service. All furniture is handmade in our own factory by our specialised team of skilled craftsmen. We are confident about our quality and know our products inside-out.”

As Saxon celebrates its 25th anniversary, the company knows that master craftsmanship is something that cannot be cheaply mass-produced as there's no substitute for class and excellence. It seems the general public tend to agree.
