Where can Next Furniture Manufacturing take you?
Next is one of the UK’s best known high-street retailers and most established online operations but have you ever wondered who builds our stylish and comfortable sofas?
In 2016 we opened our doors with just one production line and 6 years later we have 200 employees and 14 production lines.
We’re blazing the way for modern British Manufacturing from our home in Armthorpe, Doncaster.
Let’s take it on
As an Upholstery Prep you will work alongside our trained Upholsterers to develop your skills, working in a fast paced, team based environment, producing some of Next’s most popular designs. The Prepper attaches foam and card to sofa frames to shape, in preparation for upholstering.
We source great quality materials and also have our own in-house foam/fibre and frame-making operations to support you.
Who are we looking for?
- Upholstery experience is not essential, however we are looking for candidates with experience of using hand tools such as air-powered staple guns and working as part of a close-knit production line,
- Candidates with a keen eye for detail and a willingness to learn.
