Wiemann is one of Germany’s leading bedroom manufacturers, specialising in semi-fitted collections in both modern and traditional styles.
“We’re honoured and delighted to receive this award,” says Simon Hewitt, MD of Wiemann’s sole agent for the UK and Ireland, Litmus Furniture. “This award is special to us because it is voted for by the readers, and I can’t thank all those who chose us enough. We are thrilled to know that so many people in the furniture trade have such strong confidence in our products and customer service. It’s an accolade to treasure.
“Wiemann has enjoyed a strong year despite the restrictions we have all had to live under. We didn’t let the lack of trade shows earlier in the year stop us from revealing new and updating existing product.
“Premium range Interliving and value-focused Cairns were launched in early summer, hot on the heels of spring VIP additions, Kos and Metz. Meanwhile, the top-end Monaco and popular entry-point collections, Miami Plus and Korfu, were refreshed with extra finishing options to further consolidate our place as a market leader in total bedroom solutions.
“Interliving is a design lover’s dream. Based on strong sales in Germany, it brings a bold, new, on-trend look to UK and Irish bedrooms. Cairns, meanwhile, features matt-painted hinged doors, available in white, pebble grey and graphite for a contemporary look to suit any style of home. It is available with or without mirrors, and is well suited to online sales.
“Kos and Metz are wardrobe and accessory collections, both combining in-vogue good looks with cleverly thought-out versatility in a variety of carcass and door options.
“Throughout the period, we made sure that we remained as accessible as possible, with Covid-secure appointments available at our permanent showrooms at Harlow, Essex and Long Eaton, Nottinghamshire, when allowed (contact [email protected] to arrange a visit).
“Wiemann successfully embraced the growth in the trend towards online sales, finding a balance with the bricks-and-mortar market, offering a mix of designs which lent themselves to either or both.
“In terms of directions, at Wiemann we’re always developing new ranges and tweaking existing ones – it’s how we manage to keep all our collections absolutely on trend and up-to-date. We’re planning on attending a number of trade shows in the autumn, including Scotland’s Northpoint (September 12-14th), the NBF Bed Show (September 21st-22nd) and Longpoint (September 20th-23rd).
“Design, style, innovation and practicality are all factors that need to be taken into consideration when it comes to creating a popular bedroom furniture range. But what we believe marks us out from the rest is our excellent customer service.
“As well as beautiful, desirable furniture at excellent prices, Wiemann also offers a full delivery and assembly service to all stockists, plus product sales training and after-sales service via its team of regional sales agents – all this with stringent health and safety measures in place to protect customers and staff throughout all stages of manufacture, sales and delivery.”
