A Legacy of Making
At the heart of our workshops in Berkshire and Dorset lies a dedicated team of skilled and passionate craftspeople.
We believe in the value of the handmade object and it is our mission to champion craft and create a legacy of making and makers.
Our award-winning apprenticeship scheme has been running for over 30 years and has been the cornerstone of our business.
Many of our senior craftsmen and management team joined the company as apprentices, and we firmly expect many of those starting with us today to remain with us for the next 30 years.
We champion British manufacturing and craft through high profile and innovative collaborations such as The Legacy, Wish List and Connected projects with the American Hardwood Export Council (AHEC); as well as the GREAT Britain campaign with the Department for International Trade.
We have developed a specialist CPD programme for the trade, which looks to educate designers and architects on the key considerations when working with timber, and how to specify healthy and sustainable furniture.
We work with local schools, university students and the wider community to share our love of making.
We have always supported young, up and coming designers – helping them to craft their designs, providing business advice and giving them a platform to showcase their talent to a wider audience.
