I make one-off pieces and small commissions from reclaimed and recycled materials — designed with you, made carefully, and built to last. If you’re not sure what’s possible, a short chat is usually the best place to start.
Bespoke awards and trophies
I regularly make bespoke awards for organisations including Business in the Community, Keep Northern Ireland Beautiful, and local councils. Each piece is handmade and unique, using reclaimed timber and repurposed materials where possible.
For organisations with a commitment to sustainability, an award can be more than an object — it’s a visible way to reflect your values and the story behind the recognition. Designs can incorporate your theme, location, materials with meaning, and practical details like engravable plates or numbering.
Good for: staff awards, community recognition, sustainability awards, competitions and one-off prizes.
Outdoor and garden commissions
I also make practical outdoor pieces, including:
- Garden benches
- Wooden gates
- Outdoor willow structures
These commissions are designed for their setting — simple, robust, and shaped by how you’ll actually use them.
How commissioning works
- Initial chat: what it’s for, your ideas, dimensions, budget range, and timeframe
- Design direction: sketches or a simple concept proposal
- Materials: reclaimed/recycled options where possible
- Make: build and finish
- Collection / delivery: arranged to suit
If you need documentation for commissioning (quotes, timelines, or sustainability notes), I’m happy to provide it.
Enquire
If you’d like to commission an award, cake stand, or a practical piece for outdoors, send a note with:
- what you have in mind
- approximate size
- your timeframe
- your location
