OUR VALUES
It’s in our DNA
Our story started in 1884 when a 21-year-old man named George Barnsdale purchased a plot of land in Donington Market Place, comprising of a house, workshop and a storage shed for timber. He began a small carpentry business that soon built a reputation on quality craftsmanship
The story of George Barnsdale is best told by those who have lived and breathed it all their lives. Our Managing Director Tom Wright remembers running around the factory as a child, watching the dreams of his parents unfold…
