Azura Soft Furnishings (UK) Ltd was first established by its founders in 2002 with limited funding and an entrepreneurial zeal to enter the textiles industry. This was recognised by the prestigious charity, the Prince’s Trust and the Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce. With the start-up assistance from these esteemed organisations, Azura Soft Furnishings (UK) Ltd strived hard to successfully expand its growth 50-fold from 2002 to 2015.
Azura Soft Furnishings (UK) Ltd was granted the maximum award (interest free) by the Prince’s Trust after presenting an outstanding business plan. Furthermore, using its founders experience in engineering and business, Azura Soft Furnishings (UK) Ltd was awarded funding by the Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce for innovating existing technology to increase productivity and quality.
The firm was set up with an old textiles machine that was incapable of using synthetic fibres. With this investment, the machine was modified to increase output from 750 cushions per day to 2500.
