THE CREATORS
THE TEAM
Our team is made up of master craftspeople, all of whom have their own area of expertise, be it plaster, brass, design or manufacture. Largely centred around the Carrick family and with over 80 combined years of engineering experience, there is no job too large or complex.
GLEN SR
Our Dad at the age of 65 isn’t showing many signs of slowing down, with over 30 years experience in the bespoke lighting and furniture industry, and 50 years in engineering, there’s a reason why he’s picked up the nickname, The Oracle. Specialising in the making and restoring of period lighting, he is a master of many skills and techniques that are sadly becoming rarer.
JACK
The eldest of the Carrick brothers, Jack boasts over 15 years in the industry having founded his own company The Lamp Workshop in 2013. With the Lamp Workshop Jack has found a niche market in the manufacturing of all things plaster. Plaster lighting and furniture have become increasingly more popular in recent years, giving him a chance to hone his skills building a complete range of beautiful plaster pieces. I am pleased to showcase a small piece of his work in our range with the Jean plaster table lamp.
BRUCE
The middle brother, Bruce is a fantastic freelance CAD Designer and CNC machinist. Many of Bruce’s talents lie in the design process, having originally trained as a CNC programmer over a decade ago, he continued his training further and has since become an accomplished CAD designer with knowledge in multiple manufacturing processes. He has built up a substantial network of the best suppliers and manufactures in England, meaning if we can’t manufacture everything on your project, the chances are we will know someone who can. Any job we do always starts off with a detailed drawing from Bruce.
Glen Jr
Starting at 16, I spent two years learning the ancient art of lost wax and sand casting at a large lighting company. I then moved on to apprentice my father; Glen Sr, learning the ins and outs of hand crafted, bespoke lighting, furniture and brassware as well as the restoring of period lighting. With a particular interest in the making of bespoke lanterns and chandeliers, over the years I have created many beautiful statement pieces for some of the most luxurious interiors in the world.
