SWFMARF Furniture Show – A Great Success!

We are delighted to share that the SWFMARF Furniture Show, held at Junction 24 in Bridgwater was a fantastic event for members, guests, and exhibitors alike. The event was full of energy, showcasing an incredible range of furniture and ideas, and gave everyone the perfect chance to network, catch up, and see what’s new in the industry. Our visitor numbers were increased on last year, which, in the current climate is extremely pleasing and rewards our efforts in organising the show.

Warm Welcome to Our New Members

It was wonderful to see some new faces at SWFMARF Show. We’ve received some lovely feedback, with one new member sharing:

“Thank you for making me feel so welcome – it’s been a great start and I’m excited to be part of the group.”

Daffyd Davies from Davies and Davies Llandysul “It was nice to see the show being well supported again, it deserves it. Organised and run by some great people with some great products on offer”.

Sue Calladine, MD of Bedrock Furniture, commented ‘It's great to have a show right here in the South West - easy to get to, relaxed atmosphere and a really nice mix of products to view. Especially with the added bonus of winner a hamper just for turning up!’.

We’re proud of the supportive, friendly spirit that SWFMARF is known for, and we look forward to seeing all our new members getting involved in future events.

Team Night Out – Pub Quiz Fun

18 of our members got together after Wednesdays’ show day for a team night out at a local pub quiz. It was a fantastic evening filled with laughs, a little healthy competition, and plenty of camaraderie. Whilst none of our three teams didn’t quite win the big prize the night was a success for team spirit and connection. We’re already looking forward to the next one!
