About your mentor, Sharon<\/p><\/h2><\/div>
I\u2019m often asked if I\u2019ve always been an upholsterer. I actually didn\u2019t get started until I was on the verge of turning 40.<\/p>\n
I\u2019d been made redundant from my career in fashion, which I\u2019d worked in for 18 years, when the recession hit in 2008.<\/p>\n
I bought a wrecked sofa from eBay and had it revamped by an upholsterer, it was then that I fell in love with upholstery. There was something about the process; sourcing beautiful fabrics, restoring and re-loving, that lit a spark in me and resulted in so much more than I could have ever imagined.<\/p>\n
Today, I\u2019m dedicated to restoring, reupholstering, reviving and redesigning hundreds of pre-loved items of furniture from my studio in Sunbury-on-Thames. I love sharing my knowledge and experience of how to grow and run a successful upholstery business.<\/p>\n
My mission is to see businesses flourish and help you to love upholstery as a career, as well as providing a lucrative income for the rest of your working life.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
