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.
