Welcome to our website for our new division of MRDS LTD located in The Cotswolds! We are a mother-daughter team, Margaret and Jess, who have joined forces to create unique furniture that is not only stylish but also practical. Margaret, with her years of experience in the furniture industry through her established business, MRDS LTD, had a vision to make furniture and displays that are hassle-free and simple to put together. Working closely with our designer and the rest of the team, we have come up with a range of products that are not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing. And let's not forget our newest addition to the team, Lottie, our miniature dachshund who brings joy and excitement to our workspace.
As a family, we are very proud of our Irish heritage, and we wanted to incorporate it into our brand. Sadly, we lost the matriarch of our family in 2022, and we wanted to honor her memory by including a clover in our logo. This symbol not only represents our Irish roots, but it also symbolizes luck, which we hope will be reflected in all our customers' lives.
At our core, we understand that time is precious, and spending hours trying to assemble furniture is not an ideal use of it. That's why all our products are designed to be easily put together with minimal effort. We want to cater to those who don't have the time or energy for complicated assembly, making our furniture perfect for busy individuals or families.
Our mission is to provide high-quality furniture and displays that are not only visually appealing but also sustainably sourced. We believe in being environmentally responsible and have carefully selected materials that are both durable and eco-friendly. Our designs are a perfect balance of modern and timeless, ensuring that our furniture will complement any home decor.
We take pride in our attention to detail, and each piece is meticulously crafted to provide both beauty and functionality. Our constant drive for innovation means that we are always coming up with new ideas to bring you the best furniture solutions. We also have a strong focus on customer satisfaction, and we strive to provide excellent service to our customers.
Thank you for choosing our company and supporting small businesses like ours. We look forward to welcoming you into our growing family!
Meet The Team
Jess
Hi there! I started off my career by training as a Cordon Bleu chef and learning the art of cooking delicious meals, I was fortunate that once I graduated I worked as a pastry chef at the Olympic, cooking for VIP’s and athletes then onto various other roles. From there, I took a completely different path and sold cars to the US Military in Germany. It was a challenging and rewarding experience that taught me a lot about sales and customer service. But my journey didn't stop there, as I then became an estate agent. Finally, I joined my family's business, MRDS LTD, where I continue to learn and grow every day.
But when I'm not at work, you can find me indulging in my other passions. I have a love for handbags and can often be found buying, designing, or researching about them. One of my ultimate favorite pastimes is belting out my favorite tunes at a karaoke bar. Music has always been a big part of my life and it brings me so much joy. I also have a love for travel and have been fortunate enough to go on many spontaneous road trips. One of the most memorable destinations for me has been India, with its vibrant culture, delicious food, and stunning landscapes. Lottie joined my life in April 2023 and she has brought me so much happiness!
Margaret
I’m Margaret, I have been in the ceramic and flooring display industry for more years than I care to admit! Working as the sales agent for one of the UK’s leading display manufacturers, the owners unfortunately decided to close the business to retire, however this gave me the incredible opportunity to open my own business and factory MRDS LTD 7 years ago. I have continued working with many people I have known for many years and I’m so grateful for the continued support. I am very excited to be expanding and creating our ‘daughter’ brand Lottie & Clover designs.
Pre covid when I wasn’t at the factory, you would find me at a dance class whether that be ballroom, Latin or line dancing! I really must dust off my dancing shoes and get back on the dance floor. I love spending time with my family, enjoying the beautiful Cotswold scenery and joining Jess & Lottie on walks.
Lottie
My name is Lottie and I am a furry, four-legged member of the team and I think they even named the business after me?! I may not be able to use a pen and paper like my human counterparts, but I am just as eager to share a little bit about myself with you. My mum has tasked me with writing an 'About Me' section for our website, but I have a feeling she forgot that I have paws and not hands. So, while she is off doing something else, I have taken the liberty of jumping on her computer to type this out. First and foremost, I am a hard worker. I may not have a traditional job like my human friends, but I take my role in the team very seriously. My main responsibility is to keep everyone happy and entertained. And let me tell you, I take that job very seriously. Whether it's greeting visitors at the door or making my coworkers smile with my silly antics, I am always on the job. My favorite thing to do at work is to pretend I am a giant dog when someone comes to the door. I bark and wag my tail, letting everyone know that there is someone at the door. And then I wait for them to come over and give me some head scratches. It's the little things that bring joy to my day.
Company Values
At our company, we strongly believe in the importance of values that guide our actions and decisions. We have identified four core values that are at the heart of everything we do: flexibility, uniqueness, sincerity, and honesty. These values not only shape our company culture, but also define our relationships with our customers, suppliers, and employees.
Flexibility is a key value that allows us to adapt and respond to changing circumstances. In today's fast-paced business world, it is crucial to be able to pivot and adjust our strategies in order to stay competitive. We encourage our employees to think outside the box and come up with innovative solutions to challenges. This flexibility also extends to our approach to work-life balance, as we understand the importance of accommodating the diverse needs of our employees.
Uniqueness is another value that sets us apart from our competitors. We believe that our company's success lies in our ability to offer something different and stand out in the market. This value is reflected in our products and services, as we strive to provide our customers with unique and innovative solutions.
Sincerity is a core value that guides our interactions. We believe in being genuine and transparent in our communication, whether it is with our customers, suppliers, or employees. This value is especially important in building trust and maintaining strong relationships. We are committed to delivering on our promises and being accountable for our actions.
Last but not least, honesty is a fundamental value that underpins all our operations. We believe in conducting our business with integrity and ethical standards. This means being truthful and transparent in all our dealings, even when it may not be the easiest or most convenient option.
In conclusion, our company values of flexibility, uniqueness, sincerity, and honesty are not just words on a page, but principles that we live by every day. They shape our company culture, guide our decision-making, and ultimately contribute to our success. We are proud to have a team of individuals who embody these values and work together to create a positive and impactful company.
