“A tradition of quality and excellence”

 

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.

 

From the early days fitting out the famous Gleneagles and Turnberry Hotels in 1924, the Cunard Queen Mary in 1934 and her sister ship the Queen Elizabeth four years later, Morris has been involved in some of the greatest highlights of the past 100 years.

 

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 Morris 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 Queen Elizabeth 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 for Morris Furniture Group.

 

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.

 

In its long history, Morris has made bedrooms for the great early hotel chains, seating for the first cinemas, cases for the first jukeboxes, casings for the Dambusters, royal bedrooms, the list goes on...
