Independent furniture retailer Irvine Interiors has announced it has entered new ownership.

Former owners Raewyn and Leslie Irvine have decided to retire after 20 years and handed over the business, which is located on Commercial Rd in Lerwick, Shetland, to Jordan and Gemma Thomason, effective from 17 March 2023.

In a statement on the new ownership, outgoing owners Raewyn and Leslie said: “We are very excited for them as we know that they are the perfect people to carry the business forward with their enthusiasm and brilliant new ideas.

“We would like to say a huge thank you to our fantastic staff for their dedication over the years. To all of our customers – thank you so much for supporting us over the past 20 years, without you the shop wouldn’t be what it is today. We hope you’ll continue to show the same support to Jordan and Gemma as they begin their new chapter.

“If you have an outstanding order please be assured ‘it’s business as usual’ and orders will remain in place. You will be contacted in due course. Once again, a huge thank you for all of your support and we wish you all the very best.”
