Apart from spiritual edification of the soul which Christmas brings, one other important gains of the Yuletide is that it makes for impulse buying and enhancement of the environment with aesthetics, ornaments and beatification of homes and offices by either refurbishing or replacing old home furnitures and appliances to sustain the mood of the season.
A chance meeting with the Managing Director of Everyhome Furniture Company, Decn. Henry Anthony, in his 56 Okigwe Road office, increased my awareness on how Nigerians and Imolites in particular, have moved upward to compete favourably with best international furniture company anywhere in the world, in the area of conceptualizing, designing, beautification and making furnitures
that do not only meet high esthetics expectations of the people at Christmas but, that can also stand the test of all time.
Everyhome Furniture Company which by all standard is a 100 percent home grown, is the fastest growing furniture company in South East that boast of array of assembled skilled staff that produce state- of the- art wood products in a modern equipped workshop situated at Egbu Road Imo State.
The young and innovative managing director of the company, Decn. Henry, who also superintends over it sister company Wood Mate Furniture, said
that the company which birthed in its present Okigwe Road office in 2019, has witnessed tremendous growth owing to its cutting edge value proposition and target driven vision.
The managing director further explained that the sole aim of the company is to produce quality products at
affordable prices.
The giant stride made by the company in
meeting the yearnings and needs of the people is attributable to fast expansion the
company has recorded. The fast growing wood company which started some years
ago at 88 Wetheral Road, has another office in same wetheral, World
Bank and also a subsidiary company known as Henry Curtains and Carpet company.
In the words of the managing director, the addition of local
content to production in Nigeria is a well advocated policy of the government, hence the notion in some quarters that foreign furniture is better than locally manufactured is false and cannot be substantiated.
He said, ” here we also sell foreign furniture for those
who may wish to buy such. But I can tell you that there are times when people bring foreign
sample to us, we produced them and they look better than the foreign ones. Our local woods here are
comparatively more durable, we have modern equipments for our production
therefore do not see how foreign furniture is superior”, he said.
However, a visit to Everyhome Furniture Company or any of its subsidiaries in any of
its branches, will validate the saying “search no more”, what you are looking for in Sokoto is in your sokoto.
