Just around the corner from Nantwich’s bustling main street, Webb House Furnishers beckons with the charm and warmth of a beloved family business. Since Howard Webb opened a small reupholstery shop in Crewe back in 1974, this enterprise has blossomed into a revered furniture retailer. Now celebrating nearly 50 years in business, Webb House has not only transformed a quaint 19th-century red brick building on Mill Street into a delightful 12,000-square-foot showroom spread over three floors, but also expanded with a new branch on Pepper Street in Nantwich earlier this year. The heart of Webb House beats with family values. Howard’s wife, Joan, joined in 1987, bringing a wealth of retail experience. Their children, Rebecca and Neil practically grew up in the aisles of the showroom. Today, they’re integral to the business—Neil manages day-to-day operations and sales, while Rebecca adds a dash of flair to the buying team, also curating the showroom’s look with tasteful accessories and soft furnishings.
Thanks to their membership in a national buying group, Webb House combines the personal touch of an independent retailer with the clout of a national chain. This enables them to offer an impressive array of heritage brands like Parker Knoll, Stressless, G Plan, and Sherborne, alongside modern collections from Venjakob and Rom. Webb House are committed to personalised service, ensuring every customer’s journey is exceptional. Howard has developed a sophisticated back-office system that integrates with their website, allowing the team to pull up detailed management reports and purchase histories. This helps them provide tailored advice in the showroom, ensuring that every recommendation complements the customer’s personal style and home décor. Joan Webb, with her deep industry knowledge, personally ensures every visitor feels cared for. Her dedication has cultivated a loyal customer base, with many returning since the store first opened. It’s this personal touch that creates a welcoming atmosphere and keeps people coming back.
As Webb House Furnishers celebrates its 50th anniversary, complete with a snazzy new branch on Pepper Street, it’s clear this place is more than just a furniture store—it’s a showcase of a true family business and an unwavering commitment to quality. This is more than just a shop; it’s a place where passion, dedication, and a promise of exceptional furnishings have made Webb House a cherished part of Cheshire for the last 50 years.
