My husband and I must have bought pretty much all of our bedroom furniture from Alan Ward! We love browsing, we love buying (me more than my husband...) and the coffee shop is a nice place to relax mid-spree! A lovely team at Alan Ward.

We have just had our beautiful Duresta suite delivered from Alan Ward. It looks absolutely stunning in our living room, and perfectly balances the tones of the walls, curtains and carpets. This would have been impossible to achieve without the help of the personal shopper Jane.

We were struggling immensely with the vast fabric selection, and were not sure where to turn. Thankfully, we were recommended to speak to Jane, who was in the store at the time. She listened to our concerns and desires carefully, fully understanding what we wanted and needed. In no time at all she suggested a fabric, but also offered to come and see us at the house in order to judge the light and dimensions in the room - a service we were most grateful for.

The fabric looked beautiful, and with her help on the set up of the room and style of armchair we have the elegant, comfortable and beautiful room we desired. We could not have done this with out the patience and suggestions from Jane - thank you so much! We will not hesitate to speak to Jane in the future when styling the rest of the house or changing curtains, and we are immensely looking forward to having guests to see our perfect living room!

There is a welcoming atmosphere and a wide range of quality goods. The staff are all courteous, helpful and knowledgeable about the products. I would, and DO, recommend Alan Ward any time the subject of house furnishing comes up. Well done, all.

Shropshire's Hope House Children's Hospice loves Alan Ward Furniture. Elaine and Kathy transformed their showrooms into a fabulous venue for our annual Shropshire Sparkles Shopping Extravaganza and Fashion Show and donated some phenomenal raffle prizes including a beautiful leather occasional chair from their Halo range. Jane worked wonders with her curtaining skills, creating a fabulous catwalk out of nothing! What we loved about working with the Alan Ward team was their absolute 'Can Do' attitude. Nothing was too much trouble, when it came to raising money for Hope House. During the run-up when we were in the store regularly we saw this incredible customer service extended to customers throughout the store. We know where we will all be going for our furniture, carpets, kitchens, curtains and giftware from now on! Thank you so much everyone at Alan Ward for helping us to raise £4,600.

We bought a carpet from Alan Ward and the service was great from the start. You always get a nice welcome there (we've bought furniture there a couple of times) and it's so different to the chain stores. Quality products but at competitive prices.

We have bought a number of beds from Alan Ward over the years and have always experienced a very helpful service. And I mean 'helpful', not 'pushy advice'.... A wide range of beds to choose from, great quality, but it's always been the staff who set things apart for me.

Kim Mansell at Alan Ward was most attentive and helpful in finding me a small leather sofa for my cottage. Despite the huge selection she found one of the few that would fit at a price I could afford. The delivery men were on time and remembered me from the last time, they were so clean, tidy and polite. Thank you to all the staff for their help. I had looked elsewhere but on one compared!

Grateful thanks to the two men from Alan Ward who delivered my double bed wooden base yesterday. They have been here before and they are so pleasant, helpful and cheerful. They certainly make what could be a difficult visit so much easier.

My late husband and I have used Alan Ward over the years and have always been impressed with the quality and service received from them.

A huge thank you to everyone involved at Alan Ward in my furniture order. Even after the hiccup with the damaged table leg, they were able to get it replaced and delivered before Christmas. I was very impressed with all the sales and customer care staff and delivery men at Alan Ward.

Thank you to everyone at Alan Ward who was involved in the efficient way my carpet was ordered, measured, organised and fitted. I am really impressed and wish other companies were as good as Alan Ward. The carpet is lovely too and I am so pleased.

My wife and I are so pleased with the personal, friendly and professional servic we received from the staff at Alan Ward. They are to be complimented on their helpful and courteous manner.

We have just had our entire house carpeted and Mr John Drinkwater was especially helpful, with nothing too much trouble. The carpet fitters left today, and they were nost helpful in assisting the moving of furniture. The bookcase was delivered last Saturday and looks great!..again thanks to the staff in the furniture department. The house looks a treat!

I have been shopping with Alan Ward for over 30 years and would like to express how thankful I am for the excellent customer service I received today and in the past.

Thank you to Michael Mainwaring for keeping my friend company whist I was placing my order - she said he was very polite, friendly and a great pleasure to talk to.

And finally Roger Bartlett for being very helpful and also providing excellent customer service to my friend who is now also looking to place an order with Alan Ward for a rug. Well done everyone!

I would like to thank you for the professional service you have given me for the purchase of various items.

From the moment I placed the order I found the staff polite and professional. The two lads who came to install the sofa were fantastic and even pointed out that a foot had broken in transit, they then called the office to report it and handed me the phone to arrange for a new one. I then had a call asking for a suitable date to fix the foot (yes I was surprised), I asked Sharon to post the foot and would fix at my leisure and sure enough it came recorded delivery within a couple of days.

This is fantastic serive and I will certainly be shopping with Alan Ward in the future and I will certainly be recommending yourselves to others.

I always thought of Alan Ward for furniture but missed the fact that they also offer a fantastic range of carpets! As warm a welcome as ever, nice service, a lovely shop in which to browse (and buy!) and despite its huge size it somehow manages to retain that family-owned atmosphere.

What a fabulous choice of furniture there! The staff are very helpful and friendly. We spent hours browsing around the many departments - so much choice and no pressure - just help from staff. We have lots of ideas now for the other rooms after ordering our carpets and bed. We will definitely be back!

We bought our carpets from Alan Ward as we have used them before for rugs and a number of furniture purchases. We have always received a warm and friendly service and they have such a huge range of furnishing to choose from. There is also a nice coffee shop, which we do sometimes pop in to even when we're not furniture shopping! Many thanks to the Alan Ward team, a refreshing alternative to the retail park national companies.

I recently purchased several items of bedroom furniture from Alan Ward. The courtesy of the employees is excellent, especially Tony and Tom in the dept for the above. As I did not need the furniture until the end of January there was no pressure to have it delivered. It is a wonderful place to visit, which I can really recommend.

After recently moving to the area we found Alan Ward on this local site and thought we should go along. My husband and I wanted some new furniture and a new bed and Alan Ward had everything under one roof. We just weren't expecting so much choice! The store was huge! We spent quite a while in there and loved what we saw. Good quality furniture, reasonable prices and very friendly & helpful staff. Pushy staff put us off and to be honest it was a refreshing change after the sales guys we had to deal with in London for our old house. I imagine it's hard for a large shop to please everyone but - for me - Alan Ward is Highly Recommended.

I love the new Halo Living department at Alan Ward. I think I could do all my furniture shopping just in there! The sofa choice was superb, I thought, whereas my husband was fixated by the TV cabinets. It's always nice to see new shops / departments opening after the doom and gloom, so I hope Halo does well for Alan Ward.

Alan Ward is my one stop furniture shop, as they say! Sofas, beds, chairs, rugs... you name it! I haven't bought any flooring from them, I must say, but I'm sure the service in that dept is as good as the rest. Given the size of the place, I did assume at first the service wouldn't be that personal, but the staff always seem very helpful and polite. You can't please everyone (as a business woman myself, I found that out a long time ago!) but Alan Ward try, I believe. And they're still going after all these years, so they must be doing something right! I highly recommend them to my friends.

Great store, no pressure to buy but really helpful staff. Tony in the beds department really knew his stuff and we are now enjoying a good nightʼs sleep (me and hubby - not me and Tony!)

We already had a nice bed but were after a new, proper mattress. We went round to Alan Ward and, after speaking with one of the sales team (a very helpful lady - canʼt remember her name though) and looking around, we splashed out on a pocket sprung mattress. Talk about getting what you pay for - my bed is now the nicest bed Iʼve ever slept on! I just wish I hadnʼt spent years buying average mattresses from the ʼbig boysʼ!

Having recently taken delivery of our brand new solid oak bedframe and Tempur mattress, I wish to compliment Alan Ward on their excellent standard of customer care. Tony Brown in the bed department was both courteous and knowledgeable and demonstrated the wide choice of beds available so that we could make an informed choice. Having suffered from early morning back pain for many months, the Tempur mattress has eradicated my back pain completely.

We love the Alan Ward furniture store because of the huge range of furniture and offer combined with the friendly staff. No pushy salespeople! We found two perfect 2-seater sofas there that have complemented our lounge a treat. And theyʼve got a nice little coffee shop too!
