We’re delighted to share that this week our Sales Director, George Joyce, was honoured to receive the The Furniture Makers’​ Company Graham Kirkham Award 2025 for his outstanding fundraising efforts while running the London Marathon.

The award, named after South Yorkshireman Lord Graham Kirkham KCVO, Charity President, recognises individuals who have made an exceptional contribution to the organisation and its charitable work.

George raised nearly £5,000 for the Furniture Makers Charity completing his first ever TCS London Marathon in an exceptional time of 04:21:04.

George said:
“I’m both surprised and honoured to receive the award and would like to thank everyone who donated and supported me. I hope I can inspire others to challenge themselves in the future and raise funds for this fantastic cause”

Congratulations George, a well-deserved recognition of a remarkable achievement!

Wolf Components is excited to sponsor our local team Parkgate Football Club this season! As a proud Rotherham business, we’re always looking for ways to give back to our community and champion local talent.

Through the new partnership, we’re supporting the club with training shirts, pitch side boards and player sponsorships, therefore helping the team both on and off the pitch.

Our Sales Director, George Joyce, put it perfectly:

“Football has a unique way of bringing people together, and we’re delighted to play our part in supporting the talent and spirit of Parkgate FC.”

Here’s to an exciting season ahead — come on, Parkgate

The Wolf Team had a brilliant experience at this year’s Bed Show in Telford.

It was good to connect with customers and suppliers, both old and new, to discuss how our bespoke pocket springs can make a real difference to their products.

This year we were showcasing – Apex pocket springs – fully recyclable with no compromise on performance…

And VSS mini springs – a game changing step towards the future of sustainable comfort.

This morning, we were delighted to welcome the arrival of our latest VSS mini spring machine at our specialist manufacturing facility in Rotherham, marking yet another step in our ongoing capital investment strategy.

Our VSS mini springs offer a unique combination of performance and sustainability:

• Independently enclosed springs reduce motion transfer and minimise settlement
• Can be used in unlimited combinations to increase resilience and comfort
• Improves air circulation and can be layered as a cost-effective solution to boost overall mattress coil counts
• Cost effective alternative to foam and fibre layers
• Fully recyclable – made from just two raw materials
• Ideal within pillow type products or can be used within the main mattress body to create multiple layers

This latest investment expands our capacity and ensures we continue to provide a true ‘just in time’ service – a core Wolf value from day one.

Today marks another key milestone in our investment programme with the delivery of two further state of the art Lian Rou 180 coil-a-minute machines.

As a business we are passionate about investing in the latest technology and this investment ensures our manufacturing processes remain agile and competitive, keeping us at the forefront of bedding industry standards.

We are proud to congratulate our Sales Director, George Joyce, on successfully completing the London Marathon yesterday in a seriously impressive time of 04:21:04.

But it’s not just about the distance, we’re celebrating George’s determination to go further and use a personal challenge to make a real difference to an excellent charity The Furniture Makers Company.

George said “This year, I’m running the London Marathon to raise funds for The Furniture Makers Charity, which provides vital support to those in the furniture industry facing hardship. Every donation helps continue their amazing work, supporting individuals and families in need. So please consider donating  – your support means the world!”

The Furniture Makers’ Charity is a UK-based organisation that provides essential support to those in the furniture industry, including workers facing hardship, retirees in need, and young people entering the trade.

I decided to take on this challenging marathon not only for my own personal growth but also to give back to an incredible charity that does so much for the people behind the furniture we use every day. From providing financial aid to individuals who’ve fallen on hard times to helping apprentices take their first steps in the industry, the Furniture Makers’ Charity plays a pivotal role in supporting the workers who have built the UK’s furniture sector.
