Meet the George and Willy team.
We have always believed that a company is simply an extension of the people who are in it. Each morning we turn up at 7.30, unlock the studio - have a cup of tea and get excited about working with honest materials to create new products that are going to be around for generations to enjoy. We are all mates who share a passion for the products we make and encourage extracurricular projects outside of work (head over to the journal to see some of these unfold). A simple tradition we love is Hawaiian Friday, it is compulsory for everyone to turn up to work wearing a Hawaiian shirt and if you forget you have to buy a round of coffees.
