With several of the next six months commissions involving a high proportion of veneered work, we have made the decision to upgrade our veneer press from a manually operated ‘screw press’ to a new hydraulically driven press with oil heated plattens, enabling us to press larger panels and to improve the quality of our veneering facility.
shawstephens has become a member of Design-Nation; an organization of 130 designers selected by an independent panel of industry professionals.
Design-Nation operates to promote the excellence of British Designers Nationally, and Internationally, and we are very much looking forward to the opportunities and new business relationships this will provide.
