Over the past six months FIRA reports a significant rise in membership and clients, across all areas of the business. FIRA continues to show growth with regards to attracting and retaining members.

Since March, FIRA has welcomed 10 new Full Members to the Association, showing that the industry continues to recognise the importance of strong representation and the value that FIRA offers organisations, despite the economic downturn slowing consumer spending. These include some of the top high street retailers such as Debenhams and Staples.

The Furniture Industry Sustainability Programme (FISP) membership continues to grow, with a total of 68 manufacturers and retailers being certificated as Full members. FIRA have carried out 18 certifications and recertifications of FISP membership. New FISP members include Steelcase Solutions, Relyon and Kinnarps.

The Furniture Ombudsman (TFO) has been joined by 9 new members, all of which have pledged to abide by TFO's code of practice to behave as responsible retailers within the furniture industry. New members for TFO include W J Aldiss and Harvey Jones.
