Manufacturer secures Jamie Oliver contract extension

A SHROPSHIRE garden furniture manufacturer has extended its collaboration with TV chef Jamie Oliver in an undisclosed deal.

Telford-based Hartman UK has been working with the renowned chef for two years on its ‘fire pit’ garden table.

It has now extended the deal for an unspecified period to produce a full range of furniture called the ‘Get Inspired’ collection and is now working with retailers to secure orders for next season.

Hartman was established in The Netherlands in 1971 and its UK arm employs 21 people at its base on Stafford Park, in Telford, manufacturing garden furniture, including tables, chairs, benches, loungers and parasols.

Sales director Paul Facey said: “The feedback from consumers for the Jamie Oliver fire pit set has been fantastic, and with sell-out sales, retailers are extremely enthusiastic and fully behind the range extension.”

The product range will include a formal dining set with integrated ice bucket and six chairs, a sun lounger and sofa bench, all made from cast aluminium.
