Gallery Direct recently invited the Big Furniture Group team to its showroom and distribution centre in Chesterfield where we got a first look at the new launches on display.
Peter Delaney, Sales Director, and Claire Dangar, Head of Marketing Technology, gave an insightful tour of all the new products on display, starting with a stunning view from the ‘Viewing Platform’ that overlooks the centre’s true power behind the products ready to go. It’s a view you need to see with your own eyes – it’s huge!
In fact, the showroom and centre itself covers a massive 224,000sqft and holds around 36,000 pallets of stock.
Back to the products, Claire reflected on the success of their @Home events, with the latest being no different. “The show has been a tremendous success to date, attracting excellent attendance from our key trade partners, and running across a busy 2-week period.
“We’ve seen great enthusiasm for our latest launches and the response to our @Home Show is a clear indicator of how much our customers value the opportunity to see the products in-situ and as the complete lifestyle solution.
“We are in a unique position within in the industry to design and supply the entire ‘lifestyle solution’. From expertly curated displays to complete lifestyle collections, we empower our customers to create and deliver the entire look. Our innovative merchandising ideas and trend-driven designs are backed by operational excellence, ensuring seamless deliveries to either commercial premises or as direct-to-customer drop-shipping solutions.
“The sneak peek of fresh, vibrant designs and innovative materials has already created excitement, setting expectations high for the next season. Our key range extensions into bedroom within the Vancouver, Hatfield and Artisan collections was extremely well received. As well as building on the success of our already popular key ranges, such and Madrid, Amalfi and Datsun, where we are introducing additional coordinated pieces and colour options.
“The overwhelmingly positive feedback has reinforced our direction. It’s clear that our commitment to providing trend-driven, high-quality products as a complete lifestyle solution is valued, and we’re excited to continue innovating and delivering exceptional solutions to our customers – having the ability to do this @Home as an immersive showroom experience further enhances the personal touch we offer to all our customers.”
Gallery will be introducing the new products in phases, with AW24 available now, and its Spring Summer collection launching in January and February 2025, in time for Gallery’s attendance at the Spring Fair.
