Founded by a father and son partnership originally based in Mapplewell, South Wakefield. With a combination of 30 years of experience in the industry before setting up. Starting with just solid oak surrounds after identifying a gap in the market.

2001
Expanded again to the next building along and invested in new machinery, cnc, beam saws and new spray room.
Increased productivity by 40% and hired 4 new members of staff. Introduced first painting surrounds using Kronospan and medite premier boards, this was achieved in the new spray room where we could use acrylic and acid catalyst spray finishes to achieve a smooth flat high quality finish.

Moved to 12000 square foot factory in the north of Wakefield. We expanded our building capacity by over 100% with a target of increasing productivity by over 50%. The move took 6 months. Invested over a quarter of a million pounds in the latest machinery and tooling.
