In 1985, seeing gaps in the furniture market, Graham expanded the business by commencing manufacturing furniture and did so very successfully until 1996.

In 1987, noting the emerging trend in of furniture being imported from Asia, Graham undertook importing quality furniture from Malaysia and Thailand . Famous Furniture was established at this time as the wholesale arm of Barrow Investments P/L.

During the period 1987 – 1996, the company increased importing substantially whilst manufacturing and retailing were wound back to the point that in 1996 it ceased manufacturing and retailing.

Expanding the range whilst maintaining quality, has seen a consistent growth in the business.

Famous Furniture is a family-owned business with Graham's son Nathan being involved in all aspects of the business.

With Graham's background of Industrial Chemistry and Quality Control, and Nathan's background being Engineering, Famous Furniture is better able than most to assess the materials and construction of the furniture they supply.
