Managing Director

Ashley Hayward

Managing Director

My background spans more than 25 years in manufacturing and commercial interiors, including time leading UK operations for international design brands. What’s always kept me engaged is the challenge of delivering environments that actually work for people not just in how they look, but in how they function, flow and support. We don’t just sell furniture. We help shape how people learn, heal and work. And it’s a privilege to be part of that.

Becky Blundell

Logistics Manager

I arrange deliveries with the hubs in the north of the UK, liaising with customers on delivery dates, producing install schedules and delivery packs. Every day is different; the role is quite reactive. I’m also a qualified beauty therapist and mum of a football-mad 12-year-old – weekends are spent on the sidelines of a football pitch.

I have four decades of experience in the industry. I love the variety within my role, especially supporting customers; get the job done as it should be. Outside of work, it’s great to visit our holiday home in Wales for long dog walks. I think my colleagues would say I’m loud!

It’s my responsibility to route deliveries and plan installations. I enjoy planning and scheduling large projects: my favourite was work we completed for UK Atomic – we chose quirky furniture and the whole thing ran smoothly. I love my job but I prefer to be sunning myself in Dubai with Prosecco than sitting at my desk.

Customer Support, installation management and aftercare keep me busy. I was an installer for eight years. I’m from a football family, so that takes up much of my leisure time. Colleagues might describe me as dependable.

I’m a key contact between customers, suppliers and account managers, inputting orders and dealing with installs end-to-end. UK Atomic was a great project, with huge orders in a few days – a lot of concentration for a tight timeframe. I recently ran a 10k in a good time, and enjoy looking after my daughters.

I’m responsible for ensuring the highest standards of safety, health, environment, and quality across SBI. I support teams to maintain compliance, improve performance and create safe, efficient working environments. I enjoy being able to make a real difference—I also value the variety of the role. Outside of work, I love spending time with my family—especially my granddaughter—and getting out for walks.

Finance Manager

I oversee daily financial operations, invoicing, payments and reconciliations, focusing on accuracy, efficiency, and ensuring smooth, accurate processing of all transactions. Problem solving and collaboration with my team are the most rewarding aspects. That said, I think I’d be called a troublemaker if you asked my teammates! My guilty pleasure is keeping up with the Kardashians.

Credit control is my main remit. When there has been a difficult debt to retrieve and payment finally hits the bank, I know my hard work has paid off! Most of my time outside work is spent with my two beautiful daughters, who keep me on my toes.
