Friends, with three decades of experience founding and running businesses in the design, technology and manufacturing sectors, Neil Clark and Craig Russell, found themselves in the fortunate situation, where they could make new life changes after exiting their businesses. Not quite ready for pipe and slippers, they agreed early retirement was not for them, and so decided to embrace their common interest in furniture design.

Beginning with the intention of creating a simple lifestyle design and build business, the pair began developing various range concepts in their workshop. It was only after a summer garden party that the discussion turned to outdoor furniture, and how the vast majority of products available were designed and manufactured abroad.

After a year of design, development and testing, proving to be an immensely rewarding and exciting journey, Russell Clark grew legs, and the entrepreneurial spark was back, culminating in “Vibe”, our first outdoor kitchen collection.

Based in the heart of Cheshire, we have made the conscious decision to ensure supply chain and manufacturing is all North West based, focussing on, and supporting our local business community and economy.
