John Anderson has lived in Newton Aycliffe for over 20 years and started in the furniture and upholstery business at the age of 16 after leaving Greenfield School.
He has worked at various furniture companies in Newton Aycliffe throughout his career completing upholstery, re-upholstery and repairs to household sofas and chairs and commercial contract furniture for pubs, clubs, restaurants etc.
He met his wife Louise in 2004 and they have lived in Newton Aycliffe together ever since. They have a daughter, Lola aged 3 and a son on the way.
John has always strived to start his own business and finally took the decision to start in January 2014 after working with North East Camper Interiors, a camper conversion company based on Aycliffe Business Park.
John was completing upholstery to their camper vans specifially VW, T4 & T5 conversions. He saw there was a gap in the market for this type of upholstery work in the North East.
The business has enjoyed a great start and he has set up a Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/andersonupholsterynortheast
It carries lots of photos of the type of work completed and John is becoming well known on the VW forums for his professional and good quality workmanship.
John moved into his new unit at 5 Brighouse Court, Burtree Road, Aycliffe Business Park on the 1st September 2014 where he works with his sewer Amanda Lorrimar also of Newton Aycliffe who previously worked at The Sew Inn, Simpasturegate.
He specialises in VW Camper van seats and Rock & Rolls beds upholsterying to customers wants and needs. John also re-upholsters and re-foams caravan cushions, sofa cusions, horse box and has even upholstered a HGV show cab.
John hopes to increase his profile within the huge VW Camper industry and thanks everyone for their support to date.
