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.
Bespoke colour-matched vanity unit created by Harvey George.
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.”

The UK’s largest bespoke bathroom vanity unit manufacturer has won the right to use the coveted Made in Britain logo.
Harvey George, which is based on Hookstone Park in Harrogate, went through an exhaustive authentication process to achieve the distinction, which is administered by the Made in Britain not-for-profit organisation.
The company’s application to use the familiar red-white-and-blue logo was approved because all its products are made here in Yorkshire.
Sophie Griffiths, Finance Director, said:
“We’re absolutely delighted that we can now use the Made in Britain mark. It’s internationally recognised and helps customers identify products made here in the UK. In a market awash with imports, this really sets us apart as a great British manufacturer.”
Harvey George makes all its bathroom vanity units to order at its Hull factory, and its range can be seen in its 10,000 sq ft showroom on Hookstone Park.
Harvey George’s showroom can be found on Hookstone Park, off Leeds Road in Harrogate.
The firm offers 15 designs, and customers also specify the size, the drawer front, the handles, and what kind of sink they want – single or twin, sit-on or undermount – from a selection of luxury brands, including Hendel & Hendel and House of Rohl. They come in 16 basic colours, but Harvey George can match them to any paint a customer may already have.
Harvey George’s professionals can work with customers to find the perfect combination of options and turn them into beautiful designs and stunning finished products.
The lead time is six weeks, but for a small express fee that can be halved.

Andy Grice, Showroom Manager, said:
“What makes Harvey George different is that we cut out the middle-man. We don’t buy these units from anyone else – we make them individually for each of our customers. Anything you can imagine, we can make.
“We’ve compared prices and we’ve found we’re between 10 and 30% cheaper than our competitors, and typically also have a shorter lead time.
“We’re also very efficient. Even the pieces of wood we cut out of the vanity unit tops are made into chopping boards!”
