Plumbs was founded in the 1950's by Thomas and Bernice Plumb, initially as a market business. In the 1960’s, their son, Geoff Plumb, developed the business into a mail order company specialising in a niche market of stretch furniture covers.

Geoff Plumb can claim to have sustained a genuine British family business for over 50 years – a remarkable achievement. Today many family members are fully involved in Plumbs day to day activities.

The family know that the most important people in the Plumbs story are the dedicated and fantastic people who work at Plumbs. Hardly a week goes by without someone celebrating 25 years of working for the company. It is common for several members of the same family to work at Plumbs.

Chris and the family’s continued and number one aim of course is to get it right for the customer, listen to her needs and to genuinely try to do our best to delight her.
