about us
Wyre Forest Woodcraft began in 1996 when Mark Jaynes and Paul Southall decided to partner up and start a business manufacturing joinery items. At a factory unit in Kidderminster, the business quickly grew and over the coming years apprentices were trained and learned the necessary skills to create windows, doors, gates, conservatories, stairs and timber frame buildings.
a change in direction
In 2011, the business took a change in direction when Paul retired and Ross Newman, became a partner. Ross had joined as an apprentice shortly after the company started and had worked hard to become an experienced bench joiner and machinist.
It was also around this time that the decision was made to enhance our products to offer fully factory finished joinery. After substantial investment and additional training, we now produced bespoke exterior joinery manufactured from a revolutionary new timber species (Accoya), using one of Europes’ leading wood coatings and energy efficient glazing units.
At the end of October 2024 and just shy of our 30 year anniversary, Mark stepped down and retired from Wyre Forest Woodcraft. We are grateful to the years of hard work he put in to making the business what it is today, we wish him well and we thank him for the opportunities and support he gave to many along the way. Mark has moved on with the knowledge that the business is in safe hands as Ross Newman takes over.
The journey for Ross has taken him from apprentice to experienced bench joiner and from production/factory manager to partner. Now, after years of hard work and learning every aspect of the business, he has all the necessary skills, knowledge and experience to take the helm solo. Wyre Forst Woodcraft remain committed to manufacturing and producing bespoke, high quality joinery and we will continually research, develop and invest in order to build on our success and maintain our excellent reputation.
