Carleton Furniture were founded in 1874 by W. H. Wilkinson in Bradford, West Yorkshire. A new site was established in 1923 in Pontefract, West Yorkshire, manufacturing the timber parts for Morris 1000 Travellers. In 1975 Wilkinson's product manufacturing evolved using the company's craftsmanship and design innovation to become the UK’s first office furniture system designer.
During the course of 1993 Wilkinson's Furniture acquired Lucas Office Environments and formed Carleton Furniture to become one of the UK's leading innovators in the design and manufacture of corporate and contract furniture solutions.
Since being acquired by its management in 2001, Carleton Furniture have continued to grow, recording year on year growth of over 15%.
