Jason Stone, CEO at leading bedroom furniture supplier Harmony Furnishings, talks about the year so far as they prepare for the Manchester Furniture Show.
2024 has been a busy year for Harmony, launching new bedroom collections and appointing their first regional sales agents. Alan Rochlin for Scotland, and Northern Ireland alongside Gary McGovern for the Northwest. “Both are extremely respected and experienced agents who bring a wealth of experience which will be very beneficial to Harmony and our customers,” Jason said.
The appointment is part of a wider plan to grow Harmony’s strategic long-term partnerships with independent retailers across the whole of the UK. “Alan and Gary are supported by a dedicated and experienced UK-based sales office who are on hand to answer any questions customers may have,” Jason added.
With the Manchester Furniture Show returning to its traditional home, Harmony felt it was fitting to show their support to the industry and return to the show. “MFS will give a focal point for the hard work being done by Alan and Gary, allowing retailers the chance to meet us face to face,” Jason continued.
“But more importantly it will give retailers the chance to see, touch and feel our products first-hand. This is something we feel is vitally important when making a decision to buy.”
The Manchester Furniture Show will see Harmony launch two more new bedroom collections, a new revised catalogue and, most importantly, new colours and sizes to their existing popular Sliding Door wardrobes.
“Our new Sorrento collection has proven to be an instant hit with retailers,” Jason said. “The wardrobe’s generous height and modular design, coupled with a selection of internal accessories, give retailers and consumers alike almost limitless choices, ensuring precious bedroom storage space is maximized.
“Sorrento is currently available from UK stock in Light Oak and Anthracite, while over the next few months, it will see the addition of more colours and door styles to further enhance this already popular collection.”
Beyond Manchester, the future is “very bright”, with feedback from retailers about their products and overall supply proposition has been “very positive”. “This has been reflected by increased floor displays and repeat sales from stockists,” Jason said, adding: “We look forward to maintaining our positive year so far and can’t wait to see you in Manchester.”
