Land of Leather

Land of Leather was a furniture retail store based in Northfleet, Kent in the United Kingdom.

The company was hit hard by the downward slope in the United Kingdom's housing market which was brought about by the decline in demand, due to a lesser number of people buying and moving homes.

[1] Land of Leather was founded in 1994 by Jerry Briant,[2] and in July 2005, the company was floated on the London Stock Exchange, with the assistance of the investment bank, Investec, using the symbol LAN.

[5] In December 2008, Land of Leather's announcement that they were in buyout talks with a number of interested parties, caused their share price to rise by 38.5%.

Land of Leather sold Linkwise sofas made in China, which contained sachets of the mould-inhibiting chemical DMF.
