Today marks World Entrepreneurs’ Day (21st August), an annual occasion dedicated to recognising and honouring entrepreneurs for their innovation, resilience, and contributions to the economy.
The day shines a spotlight on the role of entrepreneurship in creating jobs, fostering economic growth, and driving innovation worldwide through inspiring stories, events, and awareness campaigns.
In light of this celebration, we’re proud to share a special feature from the Express & Star and Shropshire Star, which recently highlighted the remarkable journey of our chairman and co-founder, Robert Shotton.
As Cousins Furniture celebrates an incredible 40 years in business, the article reflects on Robert’s career highlights, his entrepreneurial spirit, and the vision that helped build a family-run company into one of the UK’s largest independent furniture retailers.
His story embodies the very essence of World Entrepreneurs’ Day—turning ambition into achievement, and ideas into a lasting legacy.
