Our Story
A proud family run business...
We began our journey in 2013 in Derbyshire. Joshua the company founder was in marketing at the time for an estate agents and previously tried and tested various small businesses. Joshua was always determined to become an entrepreneur and find work he was passionate about! After work Joshua would go home to continue his search for his next venture, searching and working from his kitchen table he set out to find a nice unique office to desk to work from.
After having constant unsuccessful attempts at finding anything suitable Joshua set out to create his own office desk using materials he liked the look of. As you can imagine one thing let to another and after a welding course Joshua began to sketch, design and create his own style on the including the industrial feel. After years of experience the company has grown completing unique one off projects and fitting out huge commercial offices! Joshua and his team pride themselves on offering an excellent customer service and quality products which proves to be the reason why the business continues to grow to this date.
