We’re proud to be the UK’s largest privately owned upholstery manufacturer, with multiple sites across Nottinghamshire. We’ve been growing for thirty years and counting, driven by the dedication of our talented team and our commitment to creating products people love coming home to.

But we’re not just about making great products. We’re about raising the bar.
Our mission is to lead - not just in what we create, but in how we work and who we work with. We believe that to make truly standout furniture, we need standout people. That’s why we hire talented individuals who live our values, bring a positive mindset, and take pride in what they do.

At Whitemeadow, we’re here to inspire, impress, and innovate - together.
