Our Ethos and the Environment

Our ethos is simple: to produce a superb product while investing in our local economy and artistic community. Stroud and the wider Cotswolds boast a significant legacy of craftsmanship, to which we are proud contributers. We commission handmade fittings and accessories from other talented local craftspeople working in metal, leather and glass, and are also delighted to support decorative painters, stonemasons, carvers and basket weavers.

Stroud Furniture Makers have always been committed to maintaining a low impact on the environment, both locally and globally, in the following ways:

The majority of our work takes place within a 30-mile radius, keeping fuel consumption low
Our staff live locally, with many cycling to work
We have developed our own waste disposal policy through the use of a commercial waste exchange organisation and by recycling our wood shavings to local horse and poultry owners, smallholdings and garages.
Shavings have been used to fuel our simple but ingenious workshop winter heating system for over 30 years
Larger chippings and timber offcuts are given to community members for barbecues and kindling
We are almost entirely paperless, but any essential company paper is 100% recycled or printed on paper made from 100% sustainable cotton fibre
All our employees are full-time, permanent, contracted members of staff with all rights pertaining to this.

We Stand for Sustainability

All of our materials are sourced with the greatest care by ensuring that any tropical hardwoods come from reputable FSC-certificated importers. Companies in the south west of England supply 90% of the timber, appliances and services we purchase. When you commission Stroud Furniture Makers for your project, be assured that you are making a much wider investment in your local area and its communities.
