Awarded Best UK Upholstery Manufacturer
Winning the Furniture News Readers' Choice Award for Best UK Upholstery Manufacturer is a proud moment for everyone at Buoyant Upholstery. Voted for by readers across the furniture industry, the award reflects the confidence and support of retailers, customers and industry colleagues, making the recognition particularly meaningful.
Over the past 12 months, Buoyant has continued to invest in its people, products and partnerships while strengthening its position as one of the UK's leading upholstery manufacturers.
A busy calendar of exhibitions and trade shows has allowed the team to showcase new collections, meet customers face-to-face and strengthen relationships with retail partners across the country. At the same time, the business has continued to evolve through strategic growth, most notably with the acquisition of the respected Ashley Manor brand and the addition of the Prestige Collection. Together, these developments have expanded our offering and reinforced our commitment to delivering exceptional British-made upholstery across a wider range of styles and price points.
For Managing Director Mike Aramayo, the award is recognition of the people who make the business what it is.
"This award genuinely means a lot to all of us. To be recognised by the readers of Furniture News – the retailers and people we work with every day – makes it incredibly special. We've had a fantastic year at Buoyant, from getting out to more exhibitions and meeting customers face-to-face, to welcoming Ashley Manor and the Prestige Collection into the business. It's been a busy year, but one that's shown what an amazing team we have.
I'm incredibly proud of everyone across the company; every single person has played a part in this achievement. We never stand still, and while it's important to celebrate moments like this, we're already looking ahead to what's next. We'll continue investing in our people, our products and our customers because that's what has got us here, and that's what will keep driving us forward."
That commitment to continuous improvement has been at the heart of Buoyant Upholstery's success. From the skilled craftspeople on the factory floor to the sales teams, customer service and support teams, every employee has contributed to a year of significant achievement.
We also extend our sincere thanks to our retail partners, suppliers and customers, whose continued trust and support have helped make this recognition possible. Their collaboration remains central to our ongoing success and future ambitions.
While winning the Furniture News Readers' Choice Award is a significant milestone, Buoyant Upholstery sees it as another step on its journey rather than the destination. With an expanded portfolio, stronger customer relationships and exciting opportunities ahead, the business remains committed to investing in British manufacturing, developing outstanding upholstery collections and delivering the quality, value and service that customers have come to expect.
As the company looks ahead, this latest accolade serves as both a celebration of an exceptional year and an inspiration to continue raising the standard for British upholstery manufacturing.
