With extremely limited time to carry out the changes, and taking into account the Christmas and New Year refit period, it was essential that we … Continued

We are hearing much more mention of the term ‘Fake News’ than ever before, even though it has existed for many years, albeit with a slightly different meaning than Mr Trump applies to it. However, regardless of it’s origins, or your political persuation, Fake News will impact all of us in the future. Brands and businesses of all sizes are having to come to terms with the impact that several political and corporate scandals have … Continued
Our latest buying trip took us south to Birmingham and Spring Fair 2017 at the NEC. The first thing to point out was the positive vibe coming from all the manufacturers we spoke to about how busy they had been, many even reporting record sales at this year’s exhibition. In many ways, this reflects our own experience at John Dick & Son that more people are investing in their homes and making changes to their … Continued
Traveling to beautiful European cities to visit leading international furniture shows is definitely a perk of the job. Although it’s not all glamour, we did walk over 80 km due to the sheer size of the show and the number of manufacturers we needed to talk to over a couple of days. IMM Cologne proved to be a very rewarding trip indeed, and it was great to get a preview of the trends for 2017. … Continued

Almost simultaneously, as the clocks went back just under a week ago, the temperature has noticeably dropped; the nights are drawing in and winter suddenly seems to be upon us. So, what better than putting your feet up for the evening in your nice cosy home? One good way to add warmth to any room is via the lighting; lamps are an especially good way to make a room warmer and much more welcoming in the … Continued
If you’d turned up at our showroom last Thursday night you’d have been forgiven for thinking you had arrived at the wrong place; all of our furniture was on display, but every seat was occupied by people enjoying the memorable sounds of Fleetwood Mac. It was of course our special Linn Lounge evening with Loud & Clear. Guests were not only enjoying tracks like The Chain, Dreams and Go Your Own Way, they were experiencing the incredible sound quality … Continued
