Village Sign People
We are what we do repeatedly Excellence then is not an act but a habit
OUR PEOPLE
Over the past 30 years we have built up a reputation for the same care and attention to detail that you would expect to see in the finest piece of furniture, combining high specifications with realistic pricing into a product that will last.
Here are just some of the people that bring their talents and skills together to help us to do this...
Harry Stebbing
Harry started his working life teaching in the good old days of woodwork, metal work and technical drawing. Whilst very satisfying he hankered to do his own thing and so the Village Sign People was born. Since then Harry has gathered a team of highly skilled craftsmen and specialist artisans around him to fulfil his dream.
Jo Green
Jo is an expert in the traditional art of gilding and much of her work involves the sympathetic restoration and conservation of antique frames and furniture as well as working with period interiors, contemporary furniture, painted surface decoration and specialist framing. Jo has a wide range of clients including The National Trust, painting/paper conservators, interior designers and of course the Village Sign People!
Pam Stebbing
Pam isn’t just the voice on the other end of the phone, she is passionate about getting it right, she even did a furniture restoration course to better understand the skills and process’s involved in what we do. Pam has a wealth of experience and will always offer suggestions and advice.
