Carl Hammond

Carl Hammond Furnishers is a family-run business established in 1962 by Carl himself. Carl learnt his trade at Cattles Furnishings before saving up enough money to buy a small amount of stock and rent the small ground-floor shop at 355 Hessle Road, Hull, East Yorkshire. After numerous expansions the shop still occupies 355 Hessle Road along with 3 other units, with showrooms on 2 floors. The Shop at 349-355 Hessle Road was greatly expanded at that time to show all the furniture under one roof. Carl's son, Paul, joined the company 35 years ago. He now runs the business with the help of Joe who joined the company 24 years ago. Paul and Joe have a vast knowledge of the upholstery and bedding trade.
