Lawford Bespoke Joinery, based in Rugby like its parent company Stepnell, offers services from design consultation to installation across commercial, residential, heritage, and hospitality sectors.
With a team of eight joiners and craftsmen, Lawford Bespoke Joinery aims to offer made-to-measure joinery, from intricate heritage restorations to modern, precision-built interiors, including bespoke furniture as well as manufacturing IPS and acoustic panels.
Lee Grant, joinery manager, who has been at Stepnell for 41 years, said: 鈥淛oinery has been an integral to Stepnell鈥檚 construction capabilities for more than 155 years. Retaining fundamental expertise in craftsmanship remains vital to providing sustainable construction works. This new venture will allow us to grow and flourish as an independent business. We are passionate about creating bespoke, high-quality joinery solutions that elevate any project.
鈥淭he business will continue to support Stepnell鈥檚 projects while expanding its reach wider by building its own client base. The joinery team has supported Stepnell on various projects, more recently including the reception area at Oakley Grange Care Home in Warwick, boarding premises at Eton College and outdoor seating at Greenstone Primary School in Coalville.鈥�
Stepnell managing director Tom Wakeford said: "Lawford Bespoke Joinery creates new possibilities for our joinery team to expand externally, support a broader range of clients while continuing to deliver the highest standards of craftsmanship.
鈥淭he decision to establish Lawford Bespoke Joinery as a standalone business aligns with Stepnell鈥檚 long-term strategy to enhance its specialist services, as has also been the case with energy management business Step Energy. By separating these specialist services, we become more agile and responsive to customer need, furthering our position as a trusted complete construction partner 鈥� supporting both private and public sectors.鈥�
