Workstories Joins Forces with Roger Lewis to Shape the Future of British Design

We are thrilled to announce our merger with Roger Lewis, the renowned specialist in precision joinery and upholstery. The partnership fast tracks our position in British furniture design and manufacturing and strengthens our offering to the market.

We have seen sustained growth over the last twelve years, featuring in the 2024 Financial Times’ list of Europe’s long term growth champions as the fastest growing UK manufacturer. This strategic addition to the Workstories portfolio accelerates our vision of Quality, Sustainable British Design and Growth, reinforcing our commitment to quality, customer service, expanding expertise, and delivering industry-leading products.

Roger Lewis is a British furniture company founded in the late 1980s by designer Roger Lewis, who developed a passion for contemporary design whilst working as a product designer under the mentorship of Sir Terence Conran. The company grew over 25 years serving UK retailers before shifting to the commercial market in 2013, offering bespoke solutions for large-scale projects. Based in Frome, Somerset, Roger Lewis is focused on world-class manufacturing and being a fully circular and sustainable operation.

Workstories and Roger Lewis have enjoyed a longstanding partnership, built on shared values of quality and innovation. This new chapter builds on that foundation. Roger Lewis will continue to operate as an independent brand, known for its high standards and excellence, working with its own client base, while also serving as a key manufacturing partner to Workstories.

Michael Sullivan, Group Finance and Operations Director, notes ‘This strategic partnership enhances our ability to control quality while maintaining lead times. Over time, it will allow us to broaden our product offering through expanded upholstery capabilities, expert craftsmanship, and exceptional service. Importantly, this move supports our long-term sustainability goals by deepening our investment in British manufacturing and giving us greater oversight of how our products are made’.
