We are great believers in British Manufacturing and are proud of our heritage in engineering and ironwork.Today we employ a skilled team of 150 engineers, welders, painters, seamstresses, designer lampshade makers and technicians, alongside a full cohort of support staff who design, make, assemble and hand finish our products in-house using traditional techniques that have been passed down through the generations.

In our workshops we employ a wide array of processes - laser cutting, spinning, welding, blacksmithing, antiquing, beeswaxing, polishing and painting, as well as making shades, curtains and blinds.Thanks to our recent acquisition of artisan glassmakers - Suffolk Glass - we can also now include glass blowing and pressing to our list of skills.

Dan Drake, Machine Shop Team Lead makes our Edgeware Spotlight shades using the spinning machine. All our spun brass and forged iron shades are made this way at our Hadleigh workshops.

Scientific Glass Blower Kris Winiarski has been making our beautiful glass shades for us and customers across the country for 15 years. Each and every piece of glass is expertly coaxed into life at the Suffolk Glass workshops near Glemsford. It takes around half an hour to create a clear shade and longer for a fluted one.

Anibal Simoes from our Workshop Team makes brass galleries to hold our glass shades and lamp holders in place.

All our lights make their way to our wiring room where the team wire them up ready for packing.
