And farewell to Brian, Peter and Carol
Published:  05 December, 2007

In December, Brian Smith, Peter Freeman & Carol Evans are set to leave the nursery trade after 110 years of service of which 90+ years have been spent with Rochingham mattresses. Brian reflects, 'This is an end of an era for us all. Partly down to age, and our parent company's decision to relocate Rochingham's manufacturing and administration from Kent to Derbyshire, will mean that we'll all leave at the end of the year.

We've certainly seen some dramatic changes in our time and can all remember when horse hair fillings, spring interiors with flock fillings, and pvc covers costing 28 shillings were the order of the day!'

Says Peter, 'We've had the pleasure of working as a team for many years now and at all times have attempted to provide innovative and quality mattresses via an honest approach and service to our loyal base of customers. To the many customers, friends and associates made in the nursery trade during our time, I would like them to know, we thank everyone for their esteemed loyalty'.

Peter and Brian would also like to put on record, their appreciation to all members of staff at Faversham, for their commitment and support over the years.
