I make beautiful objects out of wood - simple as that.

Hi, I’m Will, the founder and chief (well, only) maker at The Urban Workshop. I am passionate about working with wood and make everything from large freestanding furniture to small wooden homewares.

As a kid I used to love creating - you name it - Lego, Meccano, clay modelling, making boats out of wood. Before going to university I worked in a metalwork shop and learned how to mill and weld. After years of working in an office, I found that creative element missing in my life. I started woodworking to make a high rise bed for my daughter after seeing the price and dubious quality of what was available in market. It took me the whole summer but the look on her face when she walked into her new room made it worthwhile. After that, I was hooked. So here we are.

An engineer by training; specialising in manufacturing, I spent the first portion of my career in the energy industry, working in supply, logistics and strategy. This has not only honed my business acumen, but also shaped my views on a range of topics from customer service, the value of partnerships through to the importance of sustainability.
