Provenance:
The Bevan Funnell cabinetmaking business was established in 1945 as a business venture by Barry Bevan Funnell and Pamela Funnell, with just £50. Barry and Pamela began by buying and selling second hand antique furniture, thus building up their contacts and customer base. By 1947, the business had moved to new premises in Newhaven, where they began producing their own oak and mahogany furniture. A year later, Barry purchased a 60-foot yacht and furnished it with as much of the company’s antique furniture as possible. The yacht was then used to advertise their products, being sailed initially around the UK and then overseas to other European countries.

Over the decades, the business grew into a global enterprise Barry was awarded the O.B.E. in 1969 and the company was awarded the Queen’s Award for Industry twice, becoming the first business to do so.

The deaths of Barry and Pamela in the early 2000’s led the company to be put into employee ownership, and it was eventually sold to The Swann Group, where it continues to flourish to this day.
