We’re not just a training company
What makes us different to many other training providers is that we also currently run a successful leather furniture restoration business.
Whether it be the different methods of restoration or the nuances of marketing your business – we know what works from experience applying it to our own business.
When you book one of our courses, you won’t find yourself stuck in a classroom environment bogged down by theory. In addition to lots of practical apllication, we’ll spend time on live jobs, repairing and cleaning leather furniture in our customers homes.
My first experience of furniture restoration was gained working as a leather upholstery sewing machinist, before moving onto cleaning leather when I started a carpet, upholstery and leather cleaning business in 2010. I sold this business several years later before starting a purely leather focused restoration business.
