The company has specialised in supplying soft furnishings to the hospitality industry for the past 30 years, and more recently has been supplying a range of window shading systems. “We pursue quality in all we do, both in sourcing materials used in the fabrication of furnishings and internal and external sun control systems, as well as in providing professional services to our clients,” managing director, Scott Turner, says.

This pursuit has resulted in wide ranging projects. Turner Bros has supplied interior decorators with the right fabrics to make Hayman Island’s accommodation luxurious, as well as the components for window shading systems at the National Gallery of Australia, the Sydney Opera House and even Parliament House in Canberra.

“We design, install and maintain products that cover all market sectors, and we have been able to source and supply products and services that fulfil any furnishing or shading need,” Turner says.

What began as a family business in 1906 – a general store in Kogarah, selling household items like mops, brooms and buckets – evolved into a department store specialising in soft furnishings. Now great grandsons Scott and Murray Turner are at the company helm. Whilst continuing to provide high quality soft furnishings, they are also steering the company towards designing and installing automated blind systems for new generation commercial buildings in Australia and around the world.

The company’s website includes a list of projects for up-market accommodation, futuristic and luxury mansions, hospitals, schools and commercial buildings both in Australia and overseas.

“We work with designers, architects and builders, who tell us what they need. We then source those components, whether it is a certain exclusive fabric for a luxury resort or a high-tech component for a window shading system,” Turner explains.

“These components are then fabricated in Australia for our clients.” Since 2006, Turner Bros has exported Australian fabricated products to North America, the Caribbean, Mauritius, the Maldives, Indonesia, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Macau and Germany. Turner says the company has imported fabrics from all over the world, high-tech components for window blinds from Europe and software control systems from Canada.
