The Beginnings Of Norfolk Upholstery

The Cooper family history in the upholstery business began before the war with Gerry Cooper starting as an apprentice with Mann Egerton, fitting and repairing all makes of car, from Austin to Rolls Royce. During the war he fitted canopies onto military vehicles.

Early Days

After the war he decided to specialise in domestic upholstery working from a small shop in St Georges Street, Norwich.

Anglian Furnishing

He started what became Anglian Furnishing in small wood yard off Aylsham Road in the early 1960s with just two members of staff.

The 1960s

As demand increased he decided to expand, initially in 1966 into premises at Woodside Road and then about six years later bigger premises at Diamond Road were taken.

The 1970s

His range of handmade, stitched and finished suites and sofas using traditional beechwood frames from Heacham in West Norfolk were sold around the country in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

The 80s and 90s

Gerry started Norfolk Upholstery, specialising in traditional upholstery with his son Michael Cooper in 1974 from a small unit in Hevingham. It quickly became successful and only a year later moved to a new factory in Javelin Road on the Norwich Airport Industrial Estate.

At the height of demand for quality furniture Anglian Furnishing employed about fifty staff and made up to 350 suites a week until a disastrous fire put paid to the business.

2018

NU Furnishings and Fabrics was created to sell fabrics, wallpapers and soft furnishings as well as promote the services of NU Seating and sell our own quality furniture.

As with all families, we
continue to grow together.
