April's issue: Speaking up

When Tony Attard was named chair of the British Furniture Confederation (BFC), he delivered an impassioned speech at the Houses of Parliament, outlining his priorities for the industry’s lobby group. We challenged him to elaborate on his manifesto in April’s issue. 

You’ll also find interviews with Get Laid Beds’ Scott Shields and Baker Furniture’s Ian Priestley, feedback from the recent trade shows and a look ahead at INDX Beds, opinion pieces on everything from selling built-in tech to accountable marketing, and details of how to vote in this year’s Readers’ Choice Awards.
