In the past 30 years, Powell's has supplied more than £3million worth of furniture to fit out NHS offices, schools and colleges as well as leading local firms

This year alone they have sold enough paper to cover the West Bromwich Albion, Wolves, Walsall, Aston Villa and Birmingham City football pitches combined and enough desks to build a wall around Dudley.

Eighteen people work for Powell's which is based in Station Road and Mrs Powell said the business was going from 'strength to strength'.
