West Midlands-based family run furniture manufacturer, Sofa Connections, has announced the appointment of Jonathan Huntsman as its new Sales Agent for the North East.

The appointment comes off the back of a successful launch at the recent Manchester Furniture Show, where founders, Sarah and Matt Oakley decided the time was right to build relationships with retailers and designers after historically supplying the trade through a third party.

Commenting on the appointment Sarah and Matt said: “We are delighted to welcome Jonathan to our team. He will work closely with Colin Boyce and ourselves as we look to continue our growth journey.”

Jonathan added: “We had great fun at Manchester, both personally with the team and also for business too. Sofa Connections have been a hidden gem for 35 years and I’m so pleased to be part of the team to spread the word on this new opportunity for retailers to make margin. It’s a very exciting time.”
