The Chesterfield Company - Sofa Company Careers
Our manufacturing past spans several decades, and were pleased that many of our staff have been with us for large parts of the companies history helping develop the company keeping us strong. We also recognize the importance of continuous development and improvement, and we are also proud to be investors in youth development and training. In association with the North Lancashire training group the company offers 1 year placements to young people looking to start an apprenticeship in manufacturing, we are pleased that many go on to successful careers within the industry.
In the last few years our sales and support team has expanded, and we are pleased to proactively seek out some of the best young talent in Manchester. Working with Manchester Business School, Manchester Metropolitan University, and The University of Salford, the company is pleased that three of the current team were recent graduates of their respective University. Every year the company offers a 40 week placement to one lucky University Graduate and within the past six years three were offered full time positions helping to produce the fantastic display of upholstery and support literature you see today.
The Chesterfield Company - Charity Events
Proud to have supported the NSPCC with a sofa ‘give away’. Our doors were opened one cold Saturday morning on the 9th November 2007, staff donated their weekend and the company was pleased to give away 40 pieces of furniture to the local community. All money collected was donated voluntarily and no minimum donation was requested. Contributions were received from as little as £10 and up to £100 per item, in exchange for the free collection of many quality pieces of upholstery. All proceeds were donated to the NSPCC. The company was pleased to support the local community in difficult economic times whilst raising money for a brilliant charity.
Unfortunately were not able to give away furniture all year round, but some might say we're practically giving them away!
The big boss climbs the big hill !
The Chesterfield Company's very own MD, head honcho or the boss man (as he is sometimes known) braved Kilimanjaro with a small group of friends and made it ! Along the way he managed to raise a small amount of money for the NSPCC our preferred charity. Expect to see further fund raising events posted soon. If you woudl like to make a donation to the NSPCC you can do so directly through the NSPCC website.
