We started producing staircases in far smaller premises than you can see here.
This is the workshop I served my time as an apprentice and I am afraid the picures dont do it justice. It is a far cry from the workshop facilities we have now but we were still far advanced from our local competition in the production of staircases and other joinery items back then.
You can see in the photo a Ryburn Pickles stair trencher this was one of the first stair trenchers with automatic pneumatic movement.
I started my apprenticeship in 1989.

Here you can see a photo of Adrian and Chris in our old office at Dawley.
