Our story.

We formed our company more than 40 years ago. It was built on a simple ethos: to provide our clients with innovative furniture solutions.

Now part of the Ocee International Group, we still honour our commitment to do just that. Providing full-service consultancy-led furniture solutions, Southerns Broadstock Interiors specialises in supporting an array of industries including the public sector, higher education and commercial sectors.

Our business has evolved during more than four decades of operating – but our commitment to first-class service and the highest-quality products hasn’t. We’re proud of our team’s extensive expertise and deep experience of striving to turn spaces into exceptional places where people want to spend time.

Commercial Director

I lead our client account managers, oversee supply-chain partners and work with the leadership team to guide commercial strategy with data-led decisions. I enjoy supporting colleagues to feel confident, capable and proud of what they achieve. I’m also an adrenaline junkie: I’ve jumped out of a plane, swum with sharks – and bring the same mindset to work.
