About us
Neil Spencer: Owner and sole proprietor
Neil boasts extensive experience in the upholstery industry, stemming from a lifelong background in a family of upholsterers.
He formerly served in the British Army as a combat infantry soldier with the Royal Welch Fusiliers but was badly wounded by a suicide truck bomb in iraq and medically discharged. He subsequently spent over a decade working at Leisuretrim in Ponthir, a specialist automotive upholstery business founded by his late father in 1990.
After leaving the upholstery world in 2015, he then spent the next 9 years working as a drayman delivering the beer kegs, but realised where his true passion was and in 2024, he established Hoods and stitches.
Selina Spencer: Customer service advisor
Neil's wife Selina joined the team last year, bringing extensive experience from numerous years in customer service and computer roles having worked within SSCL and HMRC. She ensures seamless office operations by managing our customer appointments and business accounts.
