Marketing Coordinator

Who we are

You might not know our name, but chances are, you’ve chilled out on one of our sofas.

At Whitemeadow, we design and develop trend-leading, commercially driven sofas for some of the biggest names in UK furniture retail. We’re white label, so the products we develop are stocked and branded by our retail partners. You’ll find our work in homes all over the nation, trusted by both independent and major retailers to deliver great product with commercial flair.

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.
