The South West Furniture Show has been rescheduled to better enable deliveries to be in time for the autumn trade.  ekonglong meeting chair

New exhibitors include Westbridge Upholstery, Healthbeds and World Furniture, along with established exhibitors such as Alstons, Celebrity, Sherborne and Kingstown.

Now in its fourth year, the South West Furniture Show, held at The Sedgemoor Auction Centre, Pendleton, Somerset, is an established and growing exhibition, with an increase in visitors from around the country each year.

Flood water started to pour into the premises at around 5pm on September 25th, and at its peak came up to nearly 3ft high, with the car park outside the two stores even deeper in water. Staff moved as much of the display furniture as possible to the safety of the first floor. They were joined in their mission by family and friends, who worked with them until the early hours to move the stock. The bosses made sure that customers that had previously placed orders were not affected by the flooding.

The stock at the outlets was display furniture, with customers’ orders dealt with by the company’s distribution hub based on Wearside, which escaped the effects of the rain.
