our staircase won the 2016 wood award

In 2016, as the owner and Design Director of Boss Stairs, I was invited to tender for the manufacture and installation of a truly unique staircase designed by leading architects Sanie + Hopkins.

The project was an engineering marvel: solid stainless steel strings, 40mm thick and nearly 4m long, required absolute precision. To allow the solid Oak treads to be wedged onto them, the strings had to be perfectly straight; even a millimetre of deviation would have compromised the entire structure. It was a formidable challenge, but one we relished. I remain immensely proud to have contributed to what became a multi-award-winning project.

After 15 years and hundreds of bespoke installations, I decided to retire in 2022. However, I soon discovered that there are only so many times you can mow the lawn in a week! Just 6 months later, Jarrod Mathews persuaded me to return to the craft I love.

Today, I am proud to represent Jarrods Staircases—unquestionably the finest in the UK—looking after the Midlands area. Whether contemporary or classic, our designs are brought to life by craftsmen who embody the skill, quality, and care of a bygone era.
