Can you tell us a bit about you, your role and the business?

I'm Elizma Smith, the Marketing Manager at Peppermill Interiors and I’m responsible for managing the company's Marketing, Events and PR initiatives.

Peppermill Interiors are a leading supplier of unique furniture for homes and commercial businesses, based in the UK.

Industrial creativity has always been the passion of Peppermill Interiors. At the heart of Staffordshire, an idea was born at the dinner table which unlocked the idea of Peppermill Antiques Ltd. Scott and Fiona Humphreys, the founders of Peppermill Interiors, began to source and sell antiques across the UK, over 20 years ago. With a strive to stand out from the crowd, the family-run business and product lines evolved with an abundance of unique furniture ideas and Peppermill Interiors as it is today was born.

Peppermill Interiors understand the importance of excellent customer service, high quality furniture and quick lead times. The team have a wealth of experience in supplying furniture to domestic clients and independent businesses, right through to UK-wide and multi-national restaurant, pub and coffee shop chains.

Our team has continued this approach, but now with the added benefit of Press Loft. Press Loft streamlines the PR process for both brands and journalists, making it even more efficient. As a search engine, it allows journalists to quickly and easily download high-resolution images without any delay.
