Norwegian firm appoints Peterlee tableware specialists to launch its products in the UK

Norwegian porcelain brand Figgio AS has appointed Peterlee-based luxury tableware specialists Goodfellow and Goodfellow to launch its new ranges.

Figgjo’s extensive portfolio of products includes durable and stylish solutions for restaurants and caterers.

Operating from its Peterlee headquarters plus a showroom in the West End of London, Goodfellows was set up by husband and wife team Paul and Valda Goodfellow in 2012.

Goodfellows is also expected to take over all new promotional and distribution activities for the Scandinavian brand in the UK, from 1st September.

Speaking about the deal, Valda Goodfellow said: “Figgjo is an amazing brand that really represents the ‘Scandi Cool’ design movement going on in various areas of product design, from fashion to furniture. We believe their new ranges will really excite the market and can’t wait to show our customers what is available.”

Simmer Vikesa, Managing Director of Figgjo commented: “We wanted to ensure our brand had the best possible representation in the UK with our target customers and we believe that Goodfellows are the ideal partner to take the Figgjo brand forward. We want to develop into areas where Goodfellows have a particularly strong influence and we look forward to working closely with them to evolve our product development with the particular needs of the UK market in mind.”
