Who we are

Alan Fewings & Co LTD is not just an upholstery workshop – it’s the result of a lifetime dedicated to the craft. Alan began his career with a prestigious apprenticeship at Rolls-Royce, where precision, quality, and attention to detail weren’t just expectations – they were the standard. It was there that he developed his deep respect for workmanship, and the mindset that upholstery is more than just fabric and frames – it’s design, structure, and function working in harmony.

After honing his skills in high-end upholstery, Alan set out on his own. Since then, he has spent decades building a trusted name throughout the Greater Manchester area, known for his meticulous standards, honest advice, and ability to transform even the most tired furniture into something truly special.

Beyond the workshop, Alan has also lent his expertise to UK Fair Trading, acting as an independent arbiter to help resolve disputes between customers and retailers. This reflects his core values – fairness, integrity, and a commitment to doing things properly.

Over the years, he has trained and mentored many upholsterers, passing on the same values and skills that shaped his own career. Today, the team still works the same way: every job starts with a conversation and ends with a piece that feels entirely new – not just repaired, but reimagined.

From the initial consultation to fabric selection, design input, and finishing touches, The team approaches each project as a unique creative opportunity. Whether it’s a full reupholstery, a detailed redesign, or a complex repair, he sees the potential in every piece – not just what it is, but what it could become.

With over 50 years of experience and a workshop full of satisfied customers, Alan Fewings & Co LTD remains committed to delivering work that speaks for itself – honest, thoughtful, and built to last.
