Our History
In the 1950’s John Sankey founded an upholstery business, famous for its quality and comfort, based here in the heartland of British upholstery; Long Eaton in Derbyshire. Today we are John Sankey – a family owned business since 1992. Some of us worked for the original John Sankey and so did our dads, and we’re bringing on the next generation now with our crafts-based apprenticeship scheme.
Our heritage and skills allow us to use traditional and innovative techniques to produce both luxury traditional furniture and stunning contemporary pieces.
We can only do what we do because everyone goes the extra mile to deliver the quality and care that we are known for.
