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.

The Romo Group Brands

 

History

In 1902, Robert Mould, who gave his name to the company, started 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.

 

Today

The group is currently managed by the founder’s great grandson, Jonathan Mould, along with his children Felicity, Emily and Jordan. With extensive international showrooms and distribution, The Romo Group has over 370 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 at heart.
