A couple in Wetherby loved their bespoke furniture units from Harvey George so much that they hired the firm to fit out almost every room – in both their houses.

When Leon and Linda Wheeler completely renovated their detached, four-bedroom house, they were looking for a company that would take the time to understand what they wanted, and then execute the plan to perfection.

Leon said:

“We weren’t really price-driven, although that did come into it. It was more about getting the right team on board, who could show flexibility and an understanding of our objectives.

“We didn’t know about Harvey George – we found them through Google. But they came round to visit and measured up, and we just felt confident about them as a business.

“Being a business-owner myself, I was looking for a small, local company who would have a more personal approach and would take real care to get things right. Harvey George have delivered that for us, time and again.”

Harvey George is the UK’s largest manufacturer of bespoke painted and oak bathroom vanity units, and also makes kitchen cabinets and storage solutions of every kind – all made to measure by Yorkshire craftsmen. Its full range can be viewed at its 10,000 sq ft showroom on Hookstone Park in Harrogate.

The Wheelers commissioned the company to make a long list of items for their home, including oak-veneered bedside tables for the master bedroom and a colour-matched vanity unit for its en suite bathroom, a vanity unit and wardrobes in their daughter’s bedroom, a wardrobe and cupboarding in their son’s bedroom, fabulous birdseye maple alcove units for the sitting room, and a showstopper bespoke cherry wood dining table for the kitchen.

They were so impressed with the quality and service from Harvey George that they hired the firm to fit out rooms in another five-bedroom property they bought nearby.

Leon said:

“Harvey George helped us create a practical, usable home that looks fantastic, and their customer service is of the very high standard I demand of my own employees.

“We’ll probably be moving house over the next couple of years, and when we do, we will definitely call on Harvey George again. We made the mistake of trying a different company for our kitchen, and ironing out all the snags took forever. Next time, we’ll just go straight to Harvey George for everything.”
