CAROL BIRD INTERIORS - Key Persons


Ann Parkinson

Ann has worked in soft furnishing workrooms for over 40 years and has been at Carol Bird Interiors since 1998. As head seamstress, Ann ensures all the soft furnishings are manufactured to the very highest standards. All our curtains are still made the same way as when we started - weighted, pocketed and hand finished.

David Bird

David has over 20 years experience in designing, project managing and furnishing homes throughout the UK and internationally. Owning the business since 2001, following the retirement of his father, David has worked on projects in London, Spain, Italy, Barbados and, of course, throughout Yorkshire. Project management, bathroom and kitchen design, commercial interiors and luxury residential homes all come under David's experienced eye. Growing up surrounded by fabrics both created and fed David's passion for interiors - this love of texture and colour is reflected in his design schemes and his knowledge and experience ensure the finished home is completed with skill and expertise. David also designs the Carol Bird Interiors range of sofas and chairs.

Pat Franklin

Pat has been part of the team for many years and works with Ann to turn beautiful fabrics into stunning curtains and soft furnishings. Pat has also had years of experience working in curtain workrooms and this experience, together with her undoubted expertise, makes Pat a valuable part of the team.

Steve Jones

Steve has over 40 years' experience as a time-served upholsterer. Working in our onsite workshop, Steve uses his knowledge and skills to upholster our own furniture range, new headboards, pelmets, lambrequins and to reupholster both new and antique pieces. His skill in restoring antique furniture by hand stitching hair-stuffed seats is exceptional in the modern days of foam furniture.
