PEOPLE FIRST

It starts with ‘people people’

Our brand is built on making every customer feel special, from their first consultation to finished project. That’s not just about high-quality, tailor-made solutions to suit every space; it’s about delivering an incredible experience—and that’s where you come in.  

That’s why we believe people skills are just as important as experience. We hire brilliant people then give you everything you need to fulfil your potential.

Laurence Chrétien Human Resources Director
At Schmidt, the family spirit is very much alive. We don’t consider employees as resources, but rather as partners who contribute to the success of the company. There is a strong sense of belonging and commitment in our showrooms, even though we’re spread across different locations.
Celia Binaut Sales Designer
I began my career with Schmidt in November 2018. One day my husband told me that he was being transferred to another region. I was really keen to carry on what I was doing so my boss called the owner of a showroom nearby and explained he had a designer who was moving to the local area and wanted to continue working with Schmidt. That’s how we got talking and decided to work together.
DEVELOPMENT AND PROGRESSION

Realise your ambitions

Working with Schmidt feels like a family—but with global reach. Our network of 700 (and counting!) global showrooms means you’ll find global support for your ambitions. Wherever you want to go in life.

Or could you imagine owning your own Schmidt showroom? We actively support and encourage our people to take a leading role in our success story. We hope to have over 100 showrooms in the UK over the next few years: could one be yours?
