Fishpools marks 125 years in business

A family-run quality furniture retailer that began with a borrowed £85 is celebrating 125 years in business.

Fishpools, based in Waltham Cross, is still in the same building where it began all those years ago – and it now encompasses 62,000 square feet across two floors.

Fishpools Managing Director Simon Fishpool said: “In 1899, Ernest Fishpool borrowed £85 to open up his dream furniture store.

“Fast forward to 2024 and we’ve grown to be the largest quality furniture store in the south-east, and are proud to be celebrating 125 years in the business this spring.

A familiar and trusted presence in the local community, our family-run company has and always will pride itself on our high quality, value for money and an unrivalled product offering, all while offering first-class customer service.

“Our story wouldn’t be the same without our loyal customers and knowledgeable employees, so thank you for being a part of it, and here’s to the next 125 years.”

Many members of the experienced Fishpools team have worked for the company for more than a decade. Their expertise and commitment to good customer service have been key to the success and longevity of the Fishpools name.

In addition to a versatile range of products, Fishpools offers a bespoke interior design service tailored to each client, helping them to realise their vision at each stage of the process.

The company has Carbon Neutral Plus certification, and boasts a stylish coffee shop in its showroom.
