Hear from the 2018 YPIE participants

Throughout June and July, five young professionals were given a once in a lifetime opportunity by taking part in the Young Professional Industry Experience.

Launched in 2014, the experience brings together some of the best and brightest young talent in the furnishing industry to take part in an intensive three-week learning programme.The group visited 16 industry leading furnishing companies across three weeks to learn from them and gain an understanding of all elements of the supply chain.

This year’s participants were Josh Chadwick, graduate sales trainee at Herman Miller; Jonny Garth, junior management apprentice at Silentnight; Felicity Squires, business development executive at Axminster Tools & Machinery; Billie Watts, business trainee at Blum; and Greg Young, manufacturing graduate at Herman Miller.
