On-site Visit to Furniture Clinic

From a family garage in County Durham to a global enterprise, Furniture Clinic has transformed the world of restoration and upcycling since its founding in 2004. Now a leading name in premium cleaning and restoration products, their expertise spans leather, fabric and wood and is used by everyone from DIY enthusiasts to world-renowned brands including Harrods, Rolls Royce and John Lewis. 

Still proudly based in the North East, Furniture Clinic’s 50,000 sq ft headquarters is home to their entire operation (from research and development to product testing, filling and packaging) ensuring every item meets British Standards and delivers professional-quality results. 

Under the leadership of Managing Director Ben Staerck, Furniture Clinic has grown from humble beginnings into an international success story, selling over three million products annually and earning recognition as one of the region’s fastest growing companies, listed on the Fastest 50 and America’s Inc. 5000 list. 

With sustainability at its core, the company’s commitment to the circular economy drives everything they do from their carbon neutral factory – which uses solar panels, improved insultation and encouraging sustainable practices such as remote working and EV charging  – to helping customers around the world breathe new life into cherished items, reduce waste and make restoration a truly accessible craft. 

Following a short introduction from Ben, you’ll enjoy a guided tour of Furniture Clinic’s state-of-the-art facilities, witnessing first-hand how innovation, craftsmanship and sustainability combine to create world-leading restoration products. You’ll also gain an insight into the company’s global growth journey, from its North East roots to becoming a fixture in homes, hotels, workshops – and even super yachts! – across the world.
