About Sofa Club

At Sofa Club, we make statements, not just sofas. As one of the UK’s fastest-growing interiors brands, we’re all about stylish design, innovation, and a seamless customer experience—from the first click to the final sit-down.
Our Hertford Head Office is the heart of the business and home to a creative, collaborative team who work hard, laugh often, and bring Sofa Club’s vision to life every day. We’re a culture-first company that champions ambition, ownership, and positivity.

You’ll help make Sofa Club a place where people feel supported, welcomed, and excited to come to work each day.
