Our Apprentices

Crafted by hand. Passed down with heart.

At Sofas by Saxon, we don’t just make furniture, we make makers.

We believe the future of British craftsmanship depends on passing on skills the right way: through patience, pride, and mentorship. Our apprenticeship programme is how we do it

Learn from the Masters

Our apprentices don’t sit in classrooms. They learn shoulder-to-shoulder with veteran upholsterers, cutters, machinists, and framers — the kind of makers you don’t find in textbooks. This is real work. Real skill. Real furniture.

Why We Do It

Because craft matters. Because skill takes time. Because there’s no shortcut to mastery — only a path walked together.

And because we believe in creating careers, not just jobs. Our apprentices grow into full-fledged craftspeople — many staying with us for decades.

For Our Customers

When you step into our showroom, you’ll see more than furniture. You’ll see a legacy being passed on, proudly and purposefully. Our customers take pride knowing that their sofa didn’t just support a local business — it helped shape a young person’s future.

“We don’t just build sofas. We build futures."
