Stuart, I noticed that you mentioned the company who manufactured for world of sofa's, would you be so kind as to name them please? I need replacement feet for a sofa I purchased off the cowboys known as world of sofas!!!! Thanx

The retail chain's website also now details Riverview Furniture as principal trading company, while the firm appears to have closed at least two of its UK stores, with outlets in Cardiff and Aberdeen no longer listed on the site.

Couches

Two new companies - Riverview Furniture Thurrock Ltd and Longseat Ltd - have been incorporated at Companies House in recent weeks, and one of these is thought to have taken over the assets of Riverview Furniture Ltd, which went into administration through SPW P&A earlier this month.

It would be interesting for all readers if the Daily Record or Trading Standards would investagate Paul Briant, Steve Dowdall and Peter Ling to see if they have a history of being owners or shareholders of many other companies that have gone bust leaving people out of pocket.
I think they should be struck off from ever being owners or share holders of any other company for good.

As for the comment above about them loosing millions can he tell us how much they recieved in wages with land of leather when they worked there and how much they recieved for there shares when they first sold them then bought them back at a very low rate . This would be very interesting as the comment above suggests we should feel sorry for these clowns who have a history of companies between them that have failed.
I await a resopnce THE ROOSTER Cockadoodledoo

Paul Briant, Steve Dowdall and Peter Ling were previously directors of Land of Leather Ltd and had all resigned from the business between three and twelve months before its collapse.
The business at time it went into liquidation had two other executive directors and five other non executive directors operating it, all of whom are respected members of the city.

Briant, Dowdall and Ling personally lost over five million pounds between them when the business collapsed and Briant, Dowdall and Ling remain unpaid from their service contracts.

World of Sofas Ltd started trading some eight months after the collapse of Land of Leather Ltd and, with the exception of taking over empty stores, has no connection with Land of Leather Ltd.
The fact that all three did previously did work for the business along with seven other directors does not make this a direct link.
When World of Sofas Ltd went into administration, the directors were the majority creditors to the tune of over two million pounds.

Riverview Furniture Ltd has purchased all the assets of World of Sofas Ltd and is going to continue to trade the brand concentrating mainly in England.

All customer orders are being honoured and any customers wishing to cancel their order who paid by credit card or debit card to World of Sofas Ltd can claim full refunds from their card provider.
Customers who purchased goods on finance can simply cancel their order and credit agreement if they no longer wish to proceed with their order.
Customers who paid cash will receive their order providing that the balance is paid in full to the store when the goods arrive in stock.

Entered agreement for sofas in January for delivery in June. No contact rom anybody as yet. Called Credit company who suggest we may have to honour agreement. No goods, so i dont think so. Does any body have an idea where we would stand. Surely if no items delivered we dont pay for them??

we ordered our sofa dec 31st and put 130 deposit, told the sofa will come beginning of may. only through browsing the net we have discovered that the company has went into administration, so went to the store that day and asked what will happen and were told we would recieve the goods, however with no proof and nothing else to say, he was very vague. dont know whether to believe this or not. has anyone had any experiences like this or know what my rights are?

Makes you proud to be British doesn't it. This just highlights what a disgraceful and disgusting set of company law we peddle in this country. If you want to have a gamble with other peoples lives and money...go ahead, there aren't any consequence. These serial del boys are living proof that you can spend other peoples money living the high life. In fact this is Mr Dowdall's third or fourth attempt at this. A fine example of Great British business.
