About us

Handmade in Britain. Loved for Life.

They say Britain doesn’t make things anymore.

We beg to differ.

At Sofas by Saxon, every sofa tells a story. Of hands that craft. Of hearts that care. Of customers who never forget the feeling. This isn’t just furniture—it’s personal.

Our Story Began With a Belief

In 1982, Robert and Teresa Jolly didn’t just start a furniture company — they began a quiet revolution. No investors, no showy marketing. Just a van, a few exhibition halls, and a bold belief: that if they crafted something truly special, people would give them a chance.

And they did.

From that first order to the thousands that followed, everything has grown from one simple thing — people choosing to believe in what we make.

Meet Your Makers

Most people never meet the people who make what they buy.

Here, you do.

Our team of craftsmen and women aren’t just employees—they’re owners, proud to put their name to what they create. Come to our showroom, and you’ll see them at work through the gallery window. Hear the tools. Smell the leather. Feel the legacy.

Real people. Real pride. Real furniture.

Employee Owned. Made With Pride.

In 2024, when our founders retired, they didn’t sell out. They passed it on — to us.

Sofas by Saxon became an employee-owned business, meaning the people who build your furniture now own the company too.

We don’t just make it. We stand behind it. Every stitch. Every seam. Every sofa.
