The Ashley Milliken Furniture Court Team Ashley Milliken, Gavin Baird, Andrew Milliken, Noel Burns and Ingrid Hayman.

Excellent Personal Service from Furniture Court on Barnard Street Timaru South Island N.Z. You have heard the name many times on radio. You have read the adds in the newspaper, now you can learn why Ashley Milliken has a successful locally owned Timaru Business. You can learn why my wife and I went back and bought our second lounge suit from the firm that puts the customer first. You can learn why I chose Ashley Milliken’s Furniture Store as the venue to row a world record 100,000 metres in a day on an indoor rowing machine. Ashley and his staff are not just in the furniture business they are in the people business. They care about people and Timaru could do with a lot more people like them. Below is their story endorsed by N.Z. Business and Tourism Promoter: Ron E Bishop

Born in Temuka and educated at Timaru South School and Timaru Technical College Ashley Millikin’s first job after leaving school was for the late J S Paine as a painter and decorator. In 1968 he moved to Wellington and worked for Taubman’s Paints as a technical sales rep. While in Wellington he became attracted to the furniture industry and got a job with a furniture retailer. Ashley returned to his home town Timaru and got a job with a Timaru furniture company Moyes and Moyes where he worked his way up to branch manager.

He always wanted to own his own business so in 1981 he started a business at 14 Barnard Street where Guthrey Bowron are today and in 1994 he moved into a new purpose built building at 28 Barnard Street where the company trades from today.

In 1986 the company became a member of the Furniture Court Group which has 17 branches nationwide. Ashley Milliken Furniture Court provides furniture for every main room in the house. Your Lounge, Kitchen, Dining Room and Bedrooms can all be furnished with furniture of the highest quality from Ashley Milliken Furniture Court.

Ashley and his team of dedicated staff will bring their furniture to your home free of charge on approval to make sure it is what you want for the room. They will even supply all the accessories such as cushions, pillows, rugs and pictures for the walls, etc. If you don’t like the colour of the upholstery they will change the fabric and won't even charge you for their labour.

The after sales service is excellent and I can vouch for that as my wife and I have purchased several pieces of furniture from them and whenever we have had a problem they have come to our home and fixed it free of charge. In addition to the excellent service the best I like is that all their profits stay invested locally for the benefit of the people in the Timaru district.

Invest in a piece of furniture from Ashley Milliken’s Furniture Court on Barnard Street and you will not only be will be investing in an asset for yourself but also in South Canterbury’s future.
