“Having my company’s name on the shirts is a proud moment and the fulfilment of a dream.
“We used to sponsor the back of the shirt and as Sean would say, now ‘we go again’ and sponsor the front.”
Oak Furniture Land, the UK’s fastest growing furniture company, is a privately-owned British designer, manufacturer and retailer of solid hardwood furniture.
