Harrogate based Kitchen and bathroom furniture maker, Harvey George, is to showcase Westmorland products – after the sheepskin retailer announced it was closing its store in the centre of town.
Westmorland Sheepskins said it would be no longer trading from its shop on Montpellier after failing to agree terms for a new lease on the unit. The company said it would be continuing to trade online.
Now Harvey George’s owners have offered free space to promote Westmorland products in their showroom on Hookstone Park.
The company said it was keen to keep Harrogate’s independent retailers going and especially keen to support another Yorkshire made business like themselves.
Sophie Griffiths, Finance Director of Harvey George said:
“We are delighted to welcome Westmorland and their gorgeous soft furnishings into the Harvey George home”.
Dominique Heaton of Westmorland said:
“It’s lovely to still be part of the Harrogate retail story at the lovely new Harvey George space!”

Your furniture, your way: Why Harvey George is the place to go for your dream bathroom
This article is sponsored by Harvey George
As the UK’s largest manufacturer of bespoke bathroom vanity units, Harvey George can create your dream bathroom in any colour scheme or design.
Customers can choose beautiful furniture in any size, colour or finish, including painted and solid wood.
And all the stunning ranges on offer can be viewed at the company’s impressive 10,000sq ft showroom at Hookstone Park in Harrogate.
Sophie Griffiths, partner at Harvey George, said:
“We have the area’s largest painted range of bespoke vanities on display. You can get any colour you like. We find that people want that full flexibility.
“In the last four years we have made well in excess of 8,000. I don’t think there is a colour we haven’t painted our vanity units and that can be any brand of paint. You can bring a swatch into us and we will colour match it.
“People can come into the showroom, touch and feel the units, talk about their ideas and speak to the team and get some advice.
“There really is nothing like it in the region.”
Harvey George’s team of more than 30 craftsmen make and design furniture to the exacting needs of customers throughout the UK and beyond.
This lifts the restrictions of what is available ‘off the shelf’ at other high street bathroom stores.
The business prides itself on making premium furniture accessible and affordable – with something for all budgets and design requirements.
And when it comes to current bathroom trends, Sophie said reeded oak was extremely popular.
She said:
“Oak-based vanity units that have a ‘heritage look’ are having a surge at the moment. “
All the latest bathroom designs are on display in the showroom, which showcases porcelain and natural stone tiles, as well as bespoke marble and luxury flooring.
Harvey George has created floor and wall displays that will inspire and allow customers to be more creative in their spaces when choosing their furniture.
There is also a large range of baths, basins and taps from the world’s best brands on offer.
The new year brings exciting new developments for the business, with a new kitchen and homeware department set to launch in January.
Sophie added:
“With the launch of a new kitchen department in the new year and other exciting plans to come, our showroom truly is a destination worthy of a visit when designing for the home.”
