Meet Your Makers

Real Furniture. Real Makers. Real Soul.

They say Britain doesn’t make things anymore. We say: Watch us.

Inside our workshop, hands shape heritage. Every piece of furniture we make carries the spirit of the people who built it. These aren’t employees. These are makers. Craftsmen. Creators. Owners.

The Human Touch

No conveyor belts. No production lines. Just skilled hands, proud hearts, and decades of know-how. Every stitch tells a story. Every frame whispers tradition. Every piece is a promise.

Built by Owners

We don’t just make the furniture. We own the company. In 2024, our founders passed the baton to the people who built this place — us. We’re an employee-owned business, and that changes everything. Every frame, every stitch, every sofa — it’s personal now.

This Is Craft You Can Visit

You don’t have to imagine the people behind your furniture.

You can meet us. Right here in Bolton.

Pull up a chair, peek into the workshop, feel the difference.

Great furniture starts with great people. We can’t wait to build something for you.

Step Into the Story

Take a Workshop Tour

Most brands hide the how. We invite you in.

We offer exclusive workshop tours where you can walk the floor, meet the makers, smell the leather, hear the tools in motion and feel what real British craftsmanship looks and sounds like.

It’s raw. It’s real. It’s unforgettable.

Whether you’ve placed an order, are thinking about it, or just curious, come behind the scenes. Ask questions. Shake hands with the people who’ll build your furniture. This is transparency you can touch.

The Next Generation of Makers

Our Apprenticeship Programme

Behind every master maker… is someone learning to become one.

At Sofas by Saxon, we believe craftsmanship isn’t a job — it’s a tradition. That’s why we run a hands-on apprenticeship programme to train and inspire the next generation of upholsterers, cutters, machinists, and makers.

Our apprentices aren’t tucked away in classrooms. They’re in the heart of the workshop, learning from veterans, mastering the details, and falling in love with the work.

When customers see young people learning the craft, they don’t just see the future of our company, they see the future of British manufacturing.
