Working for Us
There is no interior company quite like Susie Watson Designs. With our distinctive look and our unique offering on the high street, working for us is an opportunity to be part of the growth of something truly exciting in retail.
What Makes Us Unique?
Susie herself remains involved in all design work; her ethos is "good design never gets old" – she doesn’t follow trends but designs classics that stand the test of time. Her elegant, yet warm interiors, combine influences from around the world with the palette of the English Countryside, creating combinations of form and colour that are unique in the market.
We employ interior designers in all of our shops, who offer free in-store consultations to help customers create the look they want.
Championing traditional craftsmanship, Susie Watson Designs products are handmade from start to finish. There is no one else on the high street hand-making products on such a large scale. Our products are literally little works of art.
Our aim is to offer beautifully designed products of the highest quality at a price that is fair to everyone. This deep-rooted belief in fair trade is reflected in the loyalty of our staff and the close relationship we have with our manufacturers, many of whom have become firm friends and are regarded as an important part of our corporate "family". Our videos bring this to life.
