The founder, Mr Andrew R Clark, served an apprenticeship and worked for six and a half years at a very well known, prestige furnishing company in Birmingham city centre, called Thomas Woolf Furniture. During his time there he obtained City & Guilds qualifications to a very high standard.

It was after being made redundant in 1984 that steps were taken to realise an ambition of owning a successful upholstery business.

Akshop was leased at the New Enterprise  Workshops in Sparkhill and trading started om 4th November 1984.

Im 1986 larger premises were found as part of a carpet store at the Swan Centre in Yardley. Due to greater demand an apprentie and seamstress were employed.

Selective advertising and recpmmendations paid dividends and in 1989 the business re-located to 1058 Coventry Road, Hay mills. Over the 14 years that we traded from these premises we became known among our customers, and in the upholstery trade, for the quality of work we produced.

In September 2003 we moved to our new premises at the rear of 801 Warwick Road, Bimingham. These premises were chosen for their location opposite Cousins furniture store, and the surrounding home improvement outlets.

Our Future objective is to provide a quality service to the complete satisfaction of our customers.
