Simon Ashby-Bassett

Simon started his upholstery career at The Upholstery Skills Centre in Essex.

Realising he wanted a change of career, he continued his training whilst working in the Essex County Fire Service by having one to one lessons with a local upholsterer.

Here he accomplished many skills and recognised he had an eye for detail and perfection and was keen to join the business with Sarah..

He continued his training while he was still working, his shifts enabling him to practice his skills.

Six years later he joined the ReVamp husband and wife team full time bringing not only upholstery skills but carpentry too.

Here he works with clients, creating bespoke pieces, adapting and bringing vintage furniture back to life.
