Our joinery is only as good as our people, so we love celebrating major team milestones! We recently gathered to celebrate several of our staff members joining the 10 Year Club, as well as catching up on a few well-deserved, backdated 10 year milestones too.

A decade of dedication is an incredible achievement, and we are so very proud to have such a long standing team behind us.

A huge thank you to everyone in our 10 Year Club for all your loyalty and for everything you bring to Thorpes daily!

Through the eyes of a Joiner | AV Wall Unit

A look behind the scenes with Andrew at the workshop process for our latest AV wall unit standing at an impressive 5.2m wide by 2.7m high.

Guided by detailed technical drawings, each piece is carefully assembled from the ground up. Starting with the plinth, then building the frame to create the main structure.

Panels are cut, veneered and fitted with precision, while the top unit is built in sections to assemble the final design.

Once complete, it is signed off, dismantled, finished and prepped for installation on site.

Westpac Case Study | Natural Inspiration, urban precision

Working alongsideOverburyc and tp bennett, we helped bring Westpac's new Camomile Court HQ to life: a space inspired by the textures and colours of the Australian outback.

Material selection and co-ordination were crucial to the project, with specialist finishes encompassed within precision built joinery to form part of a project that feels as unique as its client.

End of an Era - Mick Retires

After an incredible 28 years with Thorpes Joinery, Mick Griffith is packing up his tools for the final time. 🛠️

Mick joined us in 1997 following a chance meeting with a former colleague and has since become a mainstay of Thorpes life. From six years working on-site in London to decades in Leicestershire, Mick’s contribution goes far beyond the many projects he has helped bring to life.

Last week, we gathered to celebrate Mick’s retirement with some fantastic cakes baked by our colleagues. John shared a few words to mark the occasion and we were pleased to present Mick with his retirement gift. It was a great way to thank him for everything before he headed off!

Check the link to read more about Mick's impact and a few pearls of wisdom from the man himself.

From Workshop to Woodland

We’re always keen to support charity initiatives where we can.

Our team recently designed and built a set of mud kitchens and play boxes for Hackney Outdoors as part of a recent project with Overbury , to support outdoor learning for children by giving them something solid and built to last.

Second-year apprentice Kieran made these in-house, taking real care over the details from start to finish.

A small project sure, but a great one to be part of.
