History

A tradition of quality and excellence

The Morris Furniture Group has enjoyed a rich and successful history spanning 3 generations of the Morris family. Born in the late 1800's Harris Morris steered the Morris Furniture Company through production for top hotels, cunard liners, thousands of cinema seats, cabinets for radios and Wurlitzer jukeboxes.

Harris's son Neil ensured Morris played a key part in the war effort helping to produce Enfield rifles, barrage balloons and Mosquito aircraft. A magnificent bedroom suite was created as a wedding present for Princess Elizabeth and the Duke of Edinburgh. Crafting first class cabinet furniture for the Queen Mary and QE2 liners was the springboard for Morris's launch into domestic furniture in the post war boom.

Neil's son Robert, joined the company in 1973 and larger premises were found for new machinery and systems. Conservation and the environment became an important and award-winning concern.

In the 1990's Morris acquired G Plan and Beautility with ever increasing turnover and over 500 staff. The turn of this century has brought continued success with the recent acquisition of Homestyle Kitchens, Diamik and Roc Office and a staff roll of over 1000.
