A family-run furniture manufacturer in Lancashire (England) has entered a Creditors' Voluntary Liquidation after operating for more than 35 years. The directors, led by Samuel Urmston, determined that the business is insolvent and unable to meet its financial obligations.

The company in question is Valiant Furniture. A virtual meeting of creditors is scheduled for 20 February 2026, during which the appointment of Joint Insolvency Practitioners Rikki Burton and Jasmine Baxter from Anderson Brookes, based in Chorley, will be considered.
The company specialised in supplying independent retailers across the UK and had built a longstanding reputation in the furniture manufacturing sector. The liquidation reflects ongoing financial challenges in the domestic market for family-run manufacturers.
This development highlights the pressures facing mid-sized furniture suppliers, even those with decades of operational history and strong local ties.
