Case Study: Godfrey Syrett achieves 70% capacity increase and £150K annual fabric savings with Lectra

Godfrey Syrett powers fast innovation with Lectra

Godfrey Syrett, a design-led maker of hospital, university and office furniture, faced faster customer timelines, higher quality expectations and increasingly complex, modular designs that outgrew its manual production processes. To hit shorter delivery windows (sometimes as little as seven working days), improve "right first time" quality and support ambitious growth plans, the company needed to modernize its supply chain and increase capacity.

Lectra partnered with Godfrey Syrett to digitize and automate pre-production and production—introducing VectorFurniture, Brio and Lectra’s pattern- and marker-making solutions—to speed cutting, nesting and spreading. The change delivered a 70% capacity increase, about £150,000 annual fabric savings (20–30% less waste), markedly better cut consistency and faster time to market, while positioning the business for future innovation.
