A little about the maker
I trained in fine furniture at Rycotewood Furniture Centre before spending several years with a furniture maker in Oxford, developing the skills needed to produce furniture of the highest standard — from bench work and machining to veneering and finishing.
Later, I stepped away from furniture and worked for several years as a mental health nurse.
It gave me a different understanding of people, of quietness, and of the importance of spaces that allow us to slow down and reflect.
Eventually, I returned to furniture making in Wiltshire before founding Meek & Wild — a small workshop at my home built around making furniture carefully, honestly, and without compromise.
Craftmanship
When I was younger, my dad told me:
“It takes time to like whisky — but it’s worth it.”
Years later, travelling through Scotland with him on a road trip to Campbeltown, I was reminded of it again.
It stayed with me — not just as a thought about whisky, but as a way of understanding craftsmanship, patience, and the value of things made to age well.
After years working in furniture making, I founded Meek & Wild to make furniture carefully, without compromise.
