About this employer
Our grandad Albert, a true English gentleman, was an upholstery expert since his 20s, honing his skills at various places throughout his career. He believed in the essential qualities in his craft, and he passed this invaluable knowledge to his son Philip, who followed in his footsteps. Albert's passion for upholstery knew no bounds, and even into his 90s, he continued to work diligently for New England Design. His dedication and expertise were remarkable, and he took great pride in his son's accomplishments in the industry. We honour and cherish his legacy, as his influence and love for upholstery continue to inspire us every day.
