About Us

Our team are more than just skilled makers – they are problem-solvers and collaborators, united by a shared passion for precision and craftsmanship.

Many began their journey with us as apprentices and have grown alongside the company, now passing their knowledge on to the next generation.

We believe the finest work comes from people who care – about the details, about each other, and the purpose behind every project.

It’s not just about what we build, but who we build it with.

THE STORY SO FAR

from MODEST beginnings

We’ve built our reputation on meticulous craftsmanship, delivering joinery projects of every scale and complexity with precision and care.

What began as a small workshop has grown into a team of over 35 highly skilled makers, working together in state-of-the-art facilities with the same passion and determination that defined our beginnings.

Today, as Greenborne Joinery, we honour that proud heritage while looking to the future with a commitment to excellence, and the drive to create spaces that inspire.

BWF Membership

As members of the British Woodworking Federation, we are at the heart of the UK’s woodworking and joinery manufacturing industry. Their expert advice on best practice in production, health and safety, and skills development – and their role in shaping policy and standards – helps us promote growth, safe working, and maintain valuable connections across the sector.

Energy Saving

In our state-of-the-art workshop, every effort is made to reduce waste and energy use. Solar panels installed on the roof help generate renewable electricity, reducing reliance on external energy sources and lowering our overall environmental impact.

Charity Partnerships

We are proud to support local charities, community clubs, and schools by donating items of surplus wood. This is creatively repurposed into practical and decorative items – such as garden planters, games, bowls, and pens – which can be sold to raise valuable funds to support their activities.

Biomass Boiler

Any wood waste that cannot be repurposed or donated is used to fuel our biomass boiler, which provides heating for the workshop. The boiler is also supported by our advanced air filtration system, which captures wood dust and redirects it for use as fuel, helping to keep the workshop clean and energy efficient.
