Meet the team

Chris Holt - Stoolz & Seatz
Christopher HoltCo-Owner and Carpenter
My name is Christopher Holt, and my journey began in retail before I discovered my passion for joinery and upholstery. Making that career change gave me the opportunity to pursue my ambition of creating something for myself and building a career around carpentry & craftsmanship.

Over the last ten years, I have dedicated myself to perfecting my craft, developing the skills and attention to detail needed to produce high-end, bespoke furniture of the highest quality. Every piece I create is built with precision, care, and a commitment to excellence.

I value every customer and take great pride in working closely with each one to bring their vision to life. My strength lies in creating bespoke furniture tailored to individual needs, ensuring every project is completed with outstanding craftsmanship, professionalism, and attention to detail.
Gary McClarence
Gary McClarenceCo-Owner and Upholsterer
My name is Gary McClarence, and I’ve dedicated the last 28 years to the craft of upholstery. I began my journey at the age of 16 as an apprentice, earning both my NVQ Level 2 and Level 3 qualifications in Upholstery.

Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working for several high-end companies, where I developed the skills, attention to detail, and craftsmanship needed to produce work of the highest standard.

I’m passionate about what I do and take great pride in every project I undertake. I believe in giving 100% to every job, no matter the size, ensuring every customer receives quality workmanship and exceptional service.

Above all, I’m a family man, and I bring the same honesty, care, and commitment to my work that I do to my family life. My goal is simple: to restore and create furniture that my customers can enjoy for years to come.
