Find out a little more about Nick and his his team of expert makers...
Nick founded the team many moons ago. Born and bred in Newcastle, he has always enjoyed making things. At university, Nick experimented with lots of different materials but somehow he was always drawn back to wood. His favourite is oak – its feel, its smell and of course, its historical significance. His favourite piece to build is the dining table, As Nick says ‘It’s the most important piece of furniture in any home – everything happens around it - from children drawing their pictures to dinner parties and romantic meals.’ For Nick, every piece of his high quality furniture is destined to be an heirloom – passed down through the generations, becoming more cherished as time passes. His favourite tool is the pencil.
Adam has been part of the team for 3 years now and is an integral part of the team. He has a real love for making things he Is a very handy man to have around.

He grew up with a very talented crafts maker as a granddad and his passion for crafts grew. Adam doesn’t just make furniture he also has his own small workshop at home where he concentrates most of his free time into his passion for metal work. Adam’s favorutire tool is a Lie Nielsen No.7 Plane.
Emily is a student from Nottingham Trent University . She fell in love with this line of work at school having her first woodwork lesson making a little mechanical toy and hasn’t stopped loving it since. What Emily loves about design is that you can have an idea then put pen to paper and then actually be able to manufacture the product and have a physical form. Not one to be crossed Emily is one bar off a black belt in Karate and is something of a matter painter in her spare time…

Before working for Nick, Joe worked in the Stephenson railway museum and has a passion for old machinery and locomotives. If he could build anything in the world he would build a traditional coble fishing boat and his favourite tool is a spoke shave.
