LONDON, United Kingdom — Around 500 members and guests of the British Contract Furnishing Association, gathered at the Dorchester Hotel in London on November 4 for the annual industry luncheon.
The meeting heard BCFA chairman Tony Attard express faith in the quality of British-designed products and in the professionalism of those involved in their development and manufacture.
He also paid tribute to the "vibrant, design-led and world-beating" British contract furnishing industry, which has sales of more than £2 billion a year and employs thousands of people across the country.
