Question 1

What’s the story behind Woodruff & Holmes?

Accepted Answer

We are a small independent company that was born out of a passion for working with wood and leather and joy from using the materials available around us here in Devon. 
The business was formed after we sold our hospitality business following COVID and the cost of living problems.
It's our pleasure to make things people love.
We care about the environment and sustainability so when we can use re-claimed materials for our gifts and rustic furniture it gives us that extra little spark of joy!

Question 2

Why do you choose reclaimed materials for your creations?

Accepted Answer

We use reclaimed materials to reduce waste and save trees. Each piece of recycled wood has unique marks and stories, adding character to our creations. Plus, it’s fascinating to imagine the history behind each piece!

Question 3

How does solar power influence the making of my furniture?

Accepted Answer

We have a large solar panel array which provides electricity for both the workshop and our house. When the sun is shining all our energy comes from renewable sources. Even when the weather is dull most of our energy use still comes from solar and surplus grid energy stored in batteries.
It is our aim that everything we produce has as little impact on the environment as possible, both from energy use and materials. Net Zero is incredibly hard to achieve, but we want to get as close as we can!
By buying from us you can be reassured that your gift or furniture has not been mass produced in a huge polluting factory using virgin timber.
