Meet the Team Behind Ash Door Furniture

At Ash Door Furniture, our story isn't just about creating exceptional architectural hardware - it's about a journey of passion, dedication, and family commitment.

Our Director, Steve Adams, embodies the true spirit of traditional manufacturing. Beginning his journey as an apprentice at just 16 years old, Steve has grown from a young learner to the driving force behind our company. His intimate understanding of every aspect of door handle manufacturing comes from decades of hands-on experience, having literally grown up within these workshop walls.

Two years ago, Steve and his wife Charlie took the helm of the business, bringing a fresh perspective while maintaining the core values of precision engineering that have defined our brand. Charlie's background in events management might seem an unexpected path into architectural hardware, but her strategic approach to business development has been transformative.

Where Steve brings deep technical expertise and manufacturing insight, Charlie introduces innovative business strategies and a keen eye for market opportunities. Together, they represent a powerful combination of technical excellence and strategic vision.

Their shared commitment goes beyond business - it's about continuing a legacy of British manufacturing, supporting local craftsmanship, and delivering exceptional architectural hardware solutions that tell a story of skill, innovation, and family dedication.

At Ash Door Furniture, we're more than a company. We're a family continuing a tradition of excellence, one meticulously crafted door handle at a time."
