About us

John and Nick have over 40 years’ experience between them.

John started in furniture in his late teens at Vidafoam making production line furniture. At the age of 20, he secured an apprenticeship with The Upholstery Craftsman in Newtown, where he worked for 15 years learning and perfecting his skills in traditional upholstery methods.

Nick left college when he was 17 and started his apprenticeship with The Upholstery Craftsman where he worked for 16 years specialising in traditional upholstery.

After a few years of working for themselves they decided to start a business together. John’s business – Macleods Upholstery – has been operating in the Wellington market for the last seven years, and Nick as Stewart Upholstery.  They are proud to combine their businesses and continue to serve their loyal customers as Road To Recovery.
