Independent furniture business Coytes Furnishing is celebrating after reaching its 50th anniversary year.

The company, which is based on Derby Road in Burton, organised a big birthday bash to celebrate its historic occasion that saw colleagues past and present join together in a night of entertainment.

To mark the anniversary for its customers, the business has been running a 50% off campaign and is also investing in new signage to modernise the store front.

Commenting on the milestone, Coytes Furnishing said: “We are so happy to be celebrating 50 years in business in Burton on Trent, no mean feat by all accounts, but a challenge more so than ever over the past few years.

“Thank you to friends old and new, family, reps and agents and colleagues, past and present, who came along to help us celebrate our 50th anniversary. It was a truly memorable evening with many a story shared over drinks and the most incredible food by Claire Gibbs and entertainment by the amazing Dave O’Hara Music.

“We are truly blessed with the most loyal, hard working team and we couldn’t have done it without their support and commitment, here’s to the next 50! In view of our 50 years of trading, we have some incredible offers available in store with up to 50% off the ticket price as a thank you to you (our customers).

“It’s time for a shop frontage refresh too, here’s the progress so far, and as you can see it’s starting to really take shape. Brining a more modern, more homely look and feel to the showroom for you all to enjoy, we’ll keep you updated how it’s all going.”
