Our History
Brayford Joinery launched in early 2024 by Tom Nickols, with the support of former colleague, Mick. The pair are traditional wood machinist and bench joiners from Lincoln, with many years’ experience between them.
Tom said, “I took up woodwork as I wanted to learn a trade that could hopefully never be taken over by robots! As the years went by, I worked for a couple of local businesses doing both machine and bench joinery, before eventually stepping out on my own. When I’m not in the workshop, you’ll find me on my boat collecting unique and unusual trinkets at markets up and down the country.”
