About Us.
Who we are.
Originally founded in 1947, Thorpes Joinery has undergone a series of changes across our 75+ year history to become a top-tier, specialist joinery company.
Working alongside some of the industry’s most reputable architects, designers and contractors, we provide a truly-bespoke joinery service.
From design through to installation, we work on the understanding that each project is different, and our core values of flexibility and transparency mean our approach can be easily tailored to a range of requirements.
What makes us, us.
History.
Originally set up by John T Thorpe as a workshop servicing the local community of Great Glen, Leicestershire in 1947, four generations of the Thorpe family have since worked within the company.
From supplying joinery to education providers across the world, to handcrafted grandfather clocks, to our move into the specialist fit-out sector in 1996, our approach has always been one of flexibility, adaptiveness and simply, putting our client first.
People.
Our staff are our biggest asset.
From those with 20 years + at the company through to our apprentices, they share a commitment to providing a quality service that perfectly matches our client’s expectations, making visions into reality.
Responsibility.
We have a duty to be responsible in all we do.
Whether this is in purchasing sustainably produced timber or taking a pro-active approach to Health & Safety, we ensure that our methods are considerate of the world around us.
