Silkwood is a family business which started back in 1975 with one employee, a skilled cabinetmaker. Since then the business has developed into a dynamic manufacture and design of high quality furniture employing around 25 full time staff.

The factory and showroom are located in the lovely Hertfordshire countryside, just about 3 miles from the attractive little town of Buntingford and you are always welcome to visit from Monday to Saturday 10am - 4pm (we are closed Sundays and Bank Holidays).

The factory and showroom are located on an industrial estate in 30,000 sq ft of buildings, on what was originally a farm. As we don't have to pay high street rent and rates we can give you the best possible quality and value for money.

Derek Neil, the company's MD, trained as a Civil Engineer and became a young section leader involved in the design of many major projects including Brighton Marina and the NEC. But his love of working with and designing in wood pushed him into starting his own business
Peter Morecraft has about 20 years experience in bespoke cabinetmaking and he works with Derek controlling all stages of design and production and final fitting into our customers' homes. They make a formidable team whose prime concern is producing and fitting our furniture to a level of excellence that only the very best can match. >
