The Furniture Templator is responsible for creating precise templates used in the production of custom furniture. This role involves measuring and drafting templates based on design specifications, ensuring that all components fit together correctly and meet quality standards.

We are looking to train selected individuals to become Furniture Fabric Pattern Makers, whose job it would be to make furniture templates for our expert team of loose cover makers to turn into beautiful furniture covers. Loose covers may not be an industry that you know a lot about, but we can change all of that. So long as you can take accurate measurements, you can record information and you are willing how to learn a methodical templating system, using the materials that we provide, we would love to hear from you.

You would be required to visit each customer in their own home at a pre-booked date/time. When at the customer’s home, you would create the required furniture templates. You would then need to post the templates to us so that we can cut and sew them at one of our many manufacturing units across the UK. The covers would then be sent back to you for you to fit onto the customer’s furniture, again at a pre-booked date/time.
