It’s difficult to escape the feeling of celebration sweeping the country at the moment; we’ve had the most successful overseas Olympic Games, and athletes from a wide variety of disciplines exceeded expectations to contribute to a superb medal haul for Great Britain, and now the paralympians look to be replicating these achievements in Rio.
We thought we’d join in by celebrating some great British designers and manufacturers; in this email we will take a look at John Sankey, without doubt among the very best of British furniture manufacturers.
John Dick & Son has a long-established relationship with John Sankey and we are proud to have a dedicated John Sankey room in our Glasgow showroom where you can see a great variety of their designs and experience the workmanship and genuine quality of their furniture.
John Sankey is a family-run business that prides itself on hand making exquisite, characterful furniture. All of their furniture is designed and individually hand made in an old Derbyshire lacemaking factory. From the wooden frames to the leather tufts, every detail is carefully produced on the same street.
Their distinctive shapes are designed with comfort in mind. They offer a wide range of sitting styles that are skilfully made to exacting standards. This has resulted in them becoming the only furniture manufacturer to offer a FIRA-backed lifetime guarantee for frames and springs.
You can see some of the sofas we have in stock on the John Dick & Son website, however the best way to truly appreciate the craftsmanship of their beautiful pieces is to visit the showroom and try them for yourself.
We are having our own celebration too…
We were delighted to join in the celebratory mood ourselves recently; we were delighted to be named theScottish Independent Furniture Retailer of the Year 2016.

Winning this award is recognition for all of the hard work and commitment shown by every member of the team at John Dick & Son, were delighted to win and to continue to serve you as best we possibly can.
