Established in 1867 by Henry Burbidge with a capital of ten shillings, our woodworking company has stood the test of time. Through economic recessions, technological revolutions, and two world wars, we have thrived, even rebuilding our factory after the Coventry Blitz. Today, we remain a family-owned business, manufacturing in the UK and drawing on a rich woodworking heritage.

While our origins lie in crafting cricket stumps and croquet mallets, we have continuously reinvented ourselves. Over the years, we have produced a diverse range of timber products, including drumsticks, guitar bodies, recorders for musical instruments, stiletto heels, and wooden components for Ten Pin Bowling alleys.

In the early 1970s, we introduced our first kitchen range, and then in the 1980s, we started supplying bathroom doors, maximising our rich wood working legacy and talent doe design to offer a superior, solid timber option in a market flooded with budget designs.
