Privately-owned manufacturer of fitted kitchen, bedroom and bathroom furniture, Symphony Group has invested £30million into a factory expansion at its HQ in Barnsley, South Yorkshire.
Measuring 300,000 sqft, the extension takes the total area of the factory to over 800,000 sq ft – equivalent to the size of 11 premier league football pitches.
It has been built alongside the existing factory to secure the company’s plans for the expansion of its product ranges, services, manufacturing capacity and storage over the medium term.

The newly expanded factory will also create a number of new employment opportunities for local people.
Internal fit out is under way and the new facility is expected to be fully operational during the first half of 2023.
The factory at Penn Hill Estate in Barnsley is the largest of four locations owned by Symphony Group with other sites in Rotherham, Wakefield and Nottingham, amounting to a total area of 1.3million sqft.
Managing director for Symphony Group Richard Bunton said: “Whilst the current economic climate is uncertain, Symphony continues to look ahead, planning for the long term and future growth opportunities.
“This investment demonstrates our commitment, confidence and belief in both our business and the loyal customers we serve. Our focus is on delivering quality on-trend products backed by outstanding service and an ethical conscience. Symphony is a stalwart for the industry.”
