The aim of 'The-Holler' is to provide a traditional option to mass produced interiors and carpentry while keeping traditions alive into a new era of heavy industry processed materials. By using locally sourced 'natural / selective fall' timber naturally seasoned combined with traditional hand crafted carpentry skills we keep our carbon footprint to a minimum and employ craftsmen rather than machines to produce real hand made pieces with all the character that produces. All our work is unique and specific to the individual clients requirements.
Our founder started working with his father at the age of 12 helping out on building sites in his school holidays, starting his carpentry and joinery indentured apprenticeship 3 years later at the age of 15. Now in his 50's with over 35 years experience in trade and management positions combined with generations of craftsmen in his family both paternal and maternal handing down many of the old skills to him, knowledge we now need to keep alive, the traditions and skills of our forefathers. We always do our utmost to utilise old skills and tools rather than modern technology.
Working in the UK nationwide as well as the EU and Saudi Arabia in both trade and management positions for some of the most exclusive of clients, from international airports, royal palaces to heading up a multi million pound department within the oldest property company in Saudi Arabia giving 40 year old Arabian properties and surrounding grounds a traditionally modern feel as construction and maintenance manager. With this knowledge and experience combined there are few issues that cannot be dealt with by us here at the Holler. After returning home to the UK he found his former career was no longer available due to new qualification requirements. So after some deliberation he decided to set up 'The Holler' to pass on his own skills and expertise at a fair and good value cost to his clients whoever they may be from rich to poor. Seeing as there are no boundaries to your imaginations we specialize in blending traditional design with avantgarde style, immersing ourselves in the work hoping to energise our clients dreams into reality with the same verve and energy found in 'The Hollers' of Appalachia where nothing is impossible after which the company is named.
As one of our key attributes we pride ourselves on working closely with our clients to ensure they get every little detail they desire to enhance the finished product and in turn give a more refined feel to your property.
We also pride ourselves on a best 'VALUE FOR MONEY' approach as it is noticeable how standards and quality of workmanship and materials used have deteriorated over the past decades with rising costs, we assure you that we only charge for the work we do and will only be to happy to have you procure and provide your materials to enable you the choice. whether we are providing a piece of furniture or carrying out maintenance our main goal is to make sure the customer is happy and returns.
ENVIRONMENTALLY CONSCIOUS
Where ever we can we will use locally sourced materials we also utilise hand tools rather then power tools whenever feasible to reduce our carbon footprint. All our hardwood is natural fall timber naturally seasoned sometimes for decades to ensure the best product with the least if any impact on our local and global environment. Through this mentality we keep all shipping down to a minimum, reliance on machinery to a minimum, mechanical fixings are secondary option as are heavy chemical finishes or adhesives, we always use natural finishing products.
