Quality Control Contractor - UK Upholstery (Midlands/North Wales)
Why join us?
Swoon was founded in 2012 with a mission to create distinctive designs that owners will want to keep forever, and a lofty goal to spark home obsession everywhere. We're an online-only furniture brand that's making a digital experience better than a store. We design original pieces in-house and our innovative NPD process discovers the next trend, fast. Our distinctive look unlocks collaborations with leading retailers like John Lewis and many more. This diversified growth strategy is powering our brand to a significant market share. And we're just getting started...
Upbeat, ambitious and collaborative - that's us. We're a lean team of 25, so if you relish responsibility and like to impact an outcome, we're the place for you. We've made flexible working a permanent thing. Right now, the team works from home but we're open to what people might need in the future. We hold regular workshops in London and if the team wants to get together in a co-working space, that's fine too.
