The Gooding Group

From Sheffield, The Gooding Group manufactures and installs fitted furniture for the new-home construction sector.

Wardrobes make up most of its work, but the company has expanded its range to home offices, understairs storage, and fireplaces. Its work is aimed mainly at homebuilders and developers equipping properties as part of a project, rather than shoppers looking for ready-to-buy furniture in a conventional store.

The wardrobe range includes hinged- and sliding-door systems, as well as interior options that let clients adapt the layout. For home offices, the company offers linear and L-shaped designs; for underused hallways and stair areas, it makes understairs units.

Gooding also says it can customize production for household needs, including bathroom cabinets and other storage solutions. That flexibility relies on dimensions and finishes tailored to each installation instead of one standard unit for every space.

The family business was established in 1990, and its shareholders had already worked in the sector before then. It marked its 25th anniversary in 2021 and moved into a 60,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in late 2022, with an announced investment of £5 million. The facility lets the company organize production around each project, from an individual wardrobe to home-office suites or furniture fitted beneath a staircase.

The Gooding Group gives trade clients two options: supply only, or supply and installation by its own qualified installers working across the UK. Its website names Taylor Wimpey, Persimmon, Charles Church, Bellway, and Redrow among its customers, along with regional developers. That combination of manufacturing, coordination with construction teams, and in-house installation helps explain why its business is centered on residential construction.

The website lists contact channels for questions about product ranges and project coordination; the manufacturing site is in Sothall, in the Sheffield area.
