If  I heard it once I heard it 1000 times at the recent Country Living Spring Fair.

“Wow, Plumbs is nothing like the adverts”

After a very busy show, over 500 brochures given out and over 100 visitors to the stand asking to have a visit from a Plumbs Home Consultant, we can say we had a busy and successful show.

Leading the display was a fabulous art deco design revived recently by Sanderson. This featured on a well matched art deco chair as a beautiful piece of reupholstery. The vast majority of show visitors who passed the stand made a comment about the chair. Many people wanted to buy it there and then.

They were  surprised to learn that Mick had actually reupholstered the chair right there on the first day of the show.

The other star of the show was Willow Stripe, the sumptuous cut velvet stripe from Swaffer. Mick spent hours reupholstering an old queen Anne chair in this fabric, being stopped every few minutes to answer questions from visitors.

So excited were people about this fabric they started taking off cuts from Mick’s reupholstery work. One large piece of fabric mysteriously went missing!

All in all a great visit to the Country Living Spring Fair and a lovely atmosphere in the business design centre in Islington.

To coincide with the launch of the Save Our Sofas (S.O.S) campaign. Plumbs have sponsored the “Ugliest Sofa in the UK 2009″ competition. All sofas are submitted and voted on by the public, the winning or ugliest sofa will then be re-upholstered for free by Plumbs.

Both the campaign and competition aim to highlight the growing need to consider the environment before throwing household items away, which usually go to landfill. S.O.S tries to educate people about the alternatives of Re-using, Refurbishing or Recycling sofas and other soft furnishings.

Why not help promote the campaign and competition by entering your sofa! You never know, you may get it re-upholstered for free.

Google luck!

Whose aim it is to complete the Coast to Coast bike ride over 3 days, and to raise £7500 for the Rosemere Cancer Foundation. Sadly our work colleague and friend Carol Livesey passed away this year and this inspired Rob Page to organise this fund raising event.

The ride is going to take place over the 29th, 30th April and the 1st May 2009.

Please contribute to our fund raising efforts, and follow our progress on this Blog from training through to the thigh burning ride.
