Minerva Furniture Group provides two membership options: full membership for furniture retailers and associate membership for bed specialists. Both routes offer immediate commercial benefits while maintaining autonomy, including competitive trading terms, an expanding supplier base, a biannual rebate scheme, and support from an experienced industry team.
The group also runs a proactive supplier strategy, including targeted category opportunities and an import container programme designed to boost sales while protecting margins. Members gain insights through networking, monthly newsletters, and shared expertise.
Minerva hosts two major annual trade exhibitions at Telford International Centre, the Spring Furniture & Bed Show and Autumn Furniture Show, featuring national and international brands, exclusive show incentives, and networking events capped by gala evenings.
Minerva says its mission remains to "help independent retailers thrive, grow and stay proudly independent," reflecting more than three decades of proven support combined with a focus on innovation, partnership, and progress.
