Brand Spotlight: Romo Fabrics

 

Founded in 1902 by Robert Mould, Romo is a family run business in its fifth generation that started life as a small-scale furniture manufacturing business in Nottingham, England. By the 1930s, the company had become wholesalers to the upholstery industry, supplying furnishing fabrics and components for the manufacture of furniture. The company continued to evolve until eventually the upholstery manufacturing side of the business ceased completely and the supply of furnishing fabrics became the company’s primary focus. In the 1980s Romo started its own in-house design studio, injecting a more creative approach to design which redefined Romo as the design-led company it is known as today.

Still based in Nottinghamshire, UK, with offices and showrooms in London, Europe and the USA, The Romo Group has over 350 employees and has six established brands all of which have their own unique character and style.

 

 

The group is now managed by the founder’s great grandson, Jonathan Mould, along with his niece Lindsay and children Felicity, Emily and Jordan. With extensive international showrooms and distribution, The Romo Group has over 350 employees and is recognised worldwide, with exports totalling approximately 70% of sales. Customer satisfaction and employee welfare are at the core of the company’s values, and although much expanded, Romo remains very much a family business.

With the customer at the forefront of any launch, great consideration and thought is put into the designs and colour palette, ensuring that collections can be used to create a cohesive scheme for all types of home. Each designer plays a key part in the creative process, with expert weavers designing innovative woven qualities and talented artists creating original prints and wallcoverings. All original artwork is intricately hand painted and delicately coloured in our in-house design studio, before being sent to expert weavers and printers to create the finished pieces of fabric and wallcoverings you see today.

 

 

For the last 10 years The Romo Group has donated a portion of its profits to enable Oxfam to implement a program to improve access to education for primary school children in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Jonathan Mould, CEO The Romo Group is dedicated to ensuring the success of the project and has continued to regularly visit the area along with other family and staff members to witness the progression.
