Loyalty is the key!


Loyalty is important in all businesses, and the upholstery trade is no different. In fact it's a business where loyalty is probably even more important. Why? It's not like clients treat us like a supermarket and visit on a weekly basis to pick up essential items. So developing a solid relationship with our clients - creating loyal clients  - is the lifeblood of our business.

But it is easy forget about your clients' needs in pursuit of making a dollar. You often have a short term focus of 'paying the bills' rather than thinking about the partnership you have created with your clients.

Vinyl - The Facts




One of the more popular fabrics we work with is vinyl. The reason for this, is that we work with a lot of restaurants and other high traffic hospitality businesses. When you are in the service industry, you need a versatile product that meets certain criteria.

Vinyl is a durable and easy to clean fabric, that comes in a variety of colors and textures. So no wonder it's popular in the restaurant trade.

For a hospitality business, the top 3 needs in a fabric usually are:
1 - Affordability
2 - Ease of use (i.e. how easy is it to keep clean.)
3 - Durability

A Little 'Secret' About UFO.

Guess what? I am personally not an upholsterer, repairer, nor manufacturer and UFO (Upholstery Fit Outs) has no intention of undertaking those skills either! So how on earth can I promote upholstery? Is UFO a fraudulent company? Absolutely not, we are the best because of who we employ!

UFO has created a NETWORK of upholsterers who uphold a similar business ethos, to provide quality work to a very high industry standard. So UFO won't touch your furniture, but we know the best people who do and should!
