"The deal has been very easy to put together and both parties are delighted with the outcome.

"Ruddimans was a pioneer in sourcing offshore manufacture for the furniture trade, becoming one of the biggest importers of occasional furniture in the country."

John Veitch, who heads Origin Red, said:"Ruddiman Furniture has enjoyed a great reputation over the years for supplying good quality furniture at competitive prices with high standards of customer service.

"This is a proud heritage we intend to build upon while utilising Origin Red’s strengths in design and manufacturing to update the product range."
