2026 will be a momentous year for Crown Imperial, marking a major milestone with the celebration of its 80th anniversary as a leading British furniture manufacturer. A third generation family-run business, the Crown Imperial story began in 1946 when Len Head started to craft children’s toys in London.

2025 has also marked a new era for Crown Imperial as Barry Head, managing director, highlighted: “We are embracing a new chapter working directly with our independent retailers and wholeheartedly appreciate the continued loyalty and support of our longstanding customers. We are looking forward to celebrating our 80th year in 2026 with our team in Herne Bay dedicated to delivering innovative furniture solutions alongside an exceptional customer service experience.”

The Crown Imperial story is one of resilience, enduring craftsmanship, and a constant drive for innovation spanning a remarkable 8 decades. The company continues to pride itself on delivering beautifully crafted furniture solutions that meet the evolving needs of modern life, built to last, made responsibly, and always with the consumer in mind.

Barry Head added: “To mark 80 years of great British manufacturing, we have created a new brand logo and anniversary video showcasing our proud heritage and continuous growth. I would like to personally extend a special thank you to our long serving team, loyal customers, trusted suppliers and consumers for being part of our wonderful story.”
