ONLINE FINE HOME FURNISHING
RETAILER OPENS SHOWROOM
ON TEESSIDE
A home furnishings online retailer, launched by two
Teesside entrepreneurs, is celebrating a business
milestone with the opening of a showroom.
Terence Turnbull and Gareth Thomas set-up the
web-based fine furnishing business Turnbull and
Thomas, to help discerning customers create
their perfect home.
Terence Turnbull and Gareth Thomas, whose fine furnishings online
business, Turnbull and Thomas, is celebrating a business milestone with
the opening of a showroom.
Now after only a few months, the company is at
the stage where it is able to establish a showroom
at Eaglescliffe to further showcase the furniture
on offer.
The business partners’ combined career
backgrounds and business knowledge makes them
well-suited to offer exceptional customer service.
Gareth is an established entrepreneur as he is
Managing Director of Teesside manufacturing firm,
Icon Plastics at Eaglescliffe.
Terence has a meticulous attention to detail
thanks to 24 years’ service in the Armed Forces
where he forged a formidable reputation as a
distribution, re-supply and logistics expert. He
also has a wealth of retail experience, which
most recently included four years as the general
manager of an online furniture retailer.
Gareth’s interest in setting up a home furnishings
business was prompted when he built his own
house. He used the very best materials to
construct his dream property, but struggled to
find furniture with the style, flair and level of
quality to match its high standard.
This sparked an ambition to use his
entrepreneurial abilities and knowledge to open
a business to fill this gap in the market, which has
led to the creation of Turnbull and Thomas, which
started out as an online business and now has a
showroom at Urlay Nook Road, which will open
to the public on Saturday September 26.
Director Gareth said: “I have harboured the
thought of launching a home furnishing retail
service since building my own home several years
ago. This burning ambition now has come to
fruition thanks to linking up Terence, who brings
extensive retail sector experience to the business
partnership.”
Terence, who is Managing Director, said: “I
am relishing the challenge of running my own
company and it is pleasing to see that the business
is growing and developing with the launch of a
showroom on Teesside.”
Turnbull and Thomas’s fine furnishings embrace
both tradition and contemporary finishes with
exquisite upholstery, shabby-chic and Frenchinspired
pieces that demonstrate the highest levels
of craftsmanship. Its designer ranges transcend
luxury with a stunning selection of bedroom,
kitchen, dining room, living room and garden
furnitureas well as a wide array of accessories
such as ornaments, mirrors and lighting to assist
in creating homes that reflect every customer’s
personality, lifestyle and aspirations.
The new showroom works in tandem with the
website - www.turnbullandthomas.co.uk – where
customers can browse and order the extensive
range of furniture and home accessories.
