Peter Cook International

Long Point starts tomorrow 👋

Looking forward to a few days of proper conversations around upholstery, sourcing, machinery, mechanisms and where the trade is heading next.

Always good getting people from across the industry together in Long Eaton again 🤝

One thing we’re expecting a lot of conversations around at Long Point is sofa beds and mechanisms.

Customer expectations are higher than ever now. People don’t just want furniture that looks good, they want comfort, reliability and something that still feels solid years later.

That’s a big reason we’ve partnered with Sedac.
Smooth operation, dependable engineering and mechanisms built for real everyday use 🛋️

Next week will be our first time attending Long Point!

Especially with the show being based right here in Long Eaton, a town that’s played such a huge role in British upholstery manufacturing for generations.

With the continued investment into our newly refreshed trade counter and Sedac showroom, we’re looking forward to being part of the conversation properly this year ☕⚙️

If you’re attending, make sure to come and say hello.

Some products are just easier to choose when you can see them.

Staple guns, mechanisms, fabrics…
Once you’ve handled them, you know.

That’s why people still come into Long Eaton - plus, Roy and the team make a cracking brew! ☕

If you’ve built something recently using anything from us, send it over.

Always good to see how things end up once they leave our warehouses 📸

Sedac works because it’s predictable.

Opens properly.
Closes properly.
Does the same thing every time.

That’s usually what people are actually looking for

We send a newsletter out now and then with product updates and bits worth knowing.

Nothing over the top, just useful stuff.
Worth signing up if you want to stay in the loop 📩

If your staple gun starts misfiring or jamming, it’s usually not the end of it.

A lot of the time it’s wear on parts or setup.

We’re doing repairs at Long Eaton, so if you’ve got one that’s not quite right, bring it in 🔧

Water based glue; some people love it, some people hate it. But truth be told, it's the way the industry as a whole is moving.

The main thing people notice is how easy is is to work with day to day.
Cleaner, easier on the environment in the workshop and still bonds properly 💧

It’s not a compromise, just a better option.

You don’t really think about what’s inside a sofa once it’s in someone’s house.

But the difference between something that lasts and something that doesn’t is usually in the components.
Elastic, foam, mechanisms…

That’s the bit we sit in the middle of.
