In 1997, founder Billy White began his career as a general handy boy at a family-run company called J. Shirlaw Upholstery and Covermaking. At the young age of 13, he began an apprenticeship with the company, developing the necessary skills to become a marine, automotive, and domestic upholsterer. He also learned to fit convertible roofs on cars and manufacture custom-made boat covers. After completing his apprenticeship, Billy went on to become a sailmaker, working alongside some of the world’s leading sailmakers. In 2012, he began designing and customising automotive interiors from a small workshop in his back garden. Through his hard work and beautiful designs, Billy earned the trust of his clients and has built a successful reputation. In 2016, 1st Class Covers opened its doors.
