About Our Company

Webber Furniture was founded in 1919 by Mr. David Frank Webber whose priority was to produce furniture of such a high quality that all his customers would appreciate and be proud to own.

Ninety-eight years on, the family business continues to manufacture furniture with the same exacting standards.

His youngest son David is now Chairman with his Grandson Alan, Managing Director and third generation to continue the excellent reputation and family legacy.

The company was originally based in Croydon, South London from 1919 until 2005, occupying various factories in the area.

During the war years, furniture production ground to a halt and the factory worked on many different projects for the Ministry of Defence to aid in the war effort.

Webber Furniture made the moulds for the Mulberry Harbours used in the D-Day landings, bomb casings and ammunition boxes.

The factory was close to Biggin Hill, Kenley and Croydon airports and had its share of near misses throughout the war. These experiences had a profound effect on David. F. Webber, and to commemorate the Battle of Britain he produced 22 hand crafted plaques most of which remain in the family possession.

However one is proudly displayed at Kenley church where many of the Battle of Britain pilots are buried. Another is displayed at the chapel at Biggin Hill (formaly the Officers’ Mess) this particular plaque was unveiled by Sir Winston Churchill.

After the war one was presented to an American Eagle squadron at their request.

Some of the very first TV cabinets where produced by Webber Furniture and one was even purchased by Logie Baird!

When the war came to an end, the factory continued to produce high quality Tudor-style Oak furniture.

In 2005 Alan Webber and fellow director Paul Druce decided to relocate the company to Lymington in the New Forest.

In the ten years since the move the company continues to manufacture the same high quality furniture to this very day.
