Stronger Together

The British Furniture Association (BFA) is a trade association, which has represented the interests of the nation’s furniture industry since 1947.  We have a rich history that includes a range of well-known members.

Our mission

We champion the success of British furniture manufacturers, suppliers, and retailers by fostering collaboration, driving growth, and advocating for a thriving, sustainable furniture industry.

Our vision

To be a globally recognised force for exceptional British furniture, renowned for quality, innovation, and collaboration across the entire supply chain.

What we do

Membership is designed to enhance your business and your business interests as part of a collective body supporting your industry.  It is open to manufacturing companies in all sectors including upholstery, cabinet, bathroom, kitchen, and office furniture, and mattresses and beds.

We provide regular industry updates through our news and blogs and also analyse key figures and trends in our economic updates, so members can easily identify opportunities within the sector.

We lobby to advance the interests of the furniture industry directly with government and through the British Furniture Confederation (BFC) and the All Party Parliamentary Furniture Industry Group of the House of Commons.

As members of BFA, collectively we are 'Stronger Together'.
