Here at the Wrought Iron and Brass Bed Company, we understand the four pillars of sustainability: Social, Human, Economic and Environmental. We know that it is vital to value each one of these to create a fully sustainable business and how it plays a vital role in shaping our future in consumerism and commerce.
Handcrafted
We take pride that we are the only Iron bedmaker that produces beds by Master Craftspeople using highly skilled handmade techniques, which the Guild of Master Craftsmen recognises. Human sustainability focuses on the development of skills as well as the importance of anyone connected in the production and provision of products and services.
Social Sustainability
By acknowledging that our actions can have an impact on people and the world around us, we strive to create a positive outcome to preserve Social Sustainability for future generations. Maintaining social capital and investments, which create services that form the framework of our society. In turn, providing a bigger vision of the world in relation to communities, cultures and globalisation. Our family business has grown organically and sustainably. Creating a direct and positive result for the lives of our employees, suppliers and local economy, by securing permanent jobs locally and within the UK.
Economic and Environmental impact
Economic Sustainability is maintaining capital intact, via high, stable and quality growth, which aims to improve the standard of living. Businesses need to create efficient use of assets and maintain profitability over time.
Since starting back in 2003, our core goal has been to build our business with a healthy environmental and economic impact. The focus and importance on reducing emissions has never been bigger, and now businesses, financial institutions, cities and countries are aiming to reduce emissions to net zero, before the middle of this century. We know environmental stability and human welfare go hand in hand for a better future.
Our positive impact on the local Economy and Environment
We are the first Iron bed manufacturer in the UK to be certified as carbon neutral and power our workshop with 100% renewable energy. We also source the bed slats purely from FSC certified companies. This process starts and finishes with us, from the metal arriving at the workshop to the careful installation of the handcrafted bed into your home.
We obtain the highest-quality Iron and Brass bars from UK suppliers and as locally close as possible, and because they are local, we can visit the factories more easily, reducing unnecessary travel, supporting the local economy.
What sets us apart
As more and more of us are now realising that we must do something to safeguard a liveable climate for our future generations. We, at the The Wrought Iron and Brass bed company have grasped this right from the beginning, with the aim to be a fully sustainable business that supports local employment, creates a quality product with longevity, consequently generating less waste in this throwaway society we have unfortunately become. This is what sets us apart from other bed manufacturers.
