Since the foundation of our parent company in 1963, we have successfully continued to grow
from our base in the North East of England.
Over 50 years of continuous innovation and development has provided us with a collection of fires and fireplaces to suit any interior and lifestyle, whilst always adhering to our founding principles of elegance and simplicity
The foundation of our parent company begins as Modern Trends, manufacturing fire surrounds in Sunderland from a 5000sq.ft factory. Soon after, the business is incorporated as Be Modern Limite
Continued growth and expansion leads to purpose-built premises
in Western Approach, South Shields.
Gas fires are introduced to the expanding product range,
offering excellent heat outputs and efficiencies.
Be Modern acquires the Wensleydale based company, Elgin & Hall, to create a premium brand of micro marble surrounds and inset fires.
Be Modern acquires the Shropshire based company, Broseley, to extend product choice into woodburning, multifuel, gas and electric stoves.
