Experience and Integrity: a 40 Year Pedigree
Our parent company, Bridec, began producing high quality melamine faced boards in 1977, providing Wessex Furniture with a wealth of experience in the flexibility of short run production for the bespoke market.
By 1990 Bridec started to fabricate the Melamine board into furniture and from there Wessex Furniture has flourished. The company is in the unique position of having the board making facility on the same premises as the finished product, allowing a high degree of operational efficiency and excellent lead times and the ability to maintain accuracy and quality of the product, enhancing the service to the customer.
Service
Wessex Furniture takes pride in working with clients and architects at the planning stage to provide a tailored solution to their needs whether this is amending standard ranges or creating a unique branded design for that personal touch. We believe in engaging with our clients early to understand the requirements of each project and are experts in assisting in space layouts to ensure compliance with local HMO standard, offering advice and providing specifications to match all budgets.

Designers are able to specify the design style, colour and fittings of furniture. However, Wessex Furniture are able to offer a full turn-key service with CSCS and SSSTS accredited installers. Clients need look no further for all their FF&E (furniture fixtures and equipment) requirements.
Delivery, Installation and Project Management
Wessex Furniture believe in a collaborative approach and by offering support in choosing the right materials and creating specifications, we ensure client’s projects are delivered on time and to budget. Our teams of SMSTS & CSCS installers ensure a seamless transition from concept to completion.
