Over 30 years experience in the handmade kitchen industry
Partners Paul and Simon joined forces in 2017 to set up The Drawer Box Company with over 30 years combined experience in the bespoke kitchen manufacturing industry.
Our knowledge and experience as cabinet makers combined with state of the art machinery allows us to manufacture high quality dovetailed drawer boxes supplying customers nationwide.
After starting the company in mid 2017, we have been very fortunate in building up a fantastic customer base. We are both delighted and flattered that some of the most amazing kitchen and furniture makers in the UK come to us for their dovetail drawer boxes, among other products we manufacture. In late 2018 we really started to see an increase in the demand for the products we were making. This meant we could take on more staff, including our first apprentice, and invest in better machinery. 18 months later, we found our 4600 Sq. ft workshop was bursting at the seems. In April 2020 the opportunity arose to take on some new premises nearby – it was perfect for the plans we had for the company (although a little bit too big pushing 13,000 Sq. ft).
We moved into the new workshop, or ‘facility’, in July 2020 and got set up. We managed to limit downtime in production by keeping part of the production going from the old workshop. Although a huge step for us to take on such large premises – what a decision it was. Having the extra workshop and yard space has enabled us to open our own hardwood merchants, Ossett Hardwoods, benefitting our production no end.
Since the move we have also been able to start back on making in-frame kitchens, with a new showroom imminent, the future is looking good.
Both myself (Simon) and Paul are extremely grateful for all the support from our customers, suppliers & friends in the industry.
We love what we do.
