Invest Northern Ireland has offered the family-owned interior design and home furnishings business support to recruit eight new roles in production, accounts, operations and sales positions.
Commenting on the investment, Managing Director Ruth Wilson, explains: “We are getting impressive traction in London, working with high end designers on manufacturing of soft furnishings and I’m excited about the growth opportunities for Beaufort Designs in the UK furnishings market.
“Invest NI’s ongoing support is helping us capitalize on the opportunities we have identified and also build the resources needed to fulfil the growth in orders.
“Securing display space at Chelsea Harbour Design Centre in March was a major coup for us. As the only curtain manufacturer within the Design Centre amongst 120 high end designer fabric brands, this is an unrivalled platform for us to showcase our range of luxury, bespoke products.”
