About Us
Hello and thank you for taking a look at our website.
It’s hard to believe that our exciting business launched as a modest little market stall in Brigg, way back in 1998.
Twenty years later and wow, here we are today, still going strong and loving every minute of it!
For Grandad’s Shed is much, much more than a business. Our passion for everything we do is second to none and our commitment to you, our customers, in offering the best service possible is at the core of its on-going success.
So what do we offer? What makes us different?
Well, where do we start…? Approachable, friendly, individual, high quality, non-mainstream…these are just a few of the ways in which our customers have described Grandad’s Shed. That’s how we build up great relationships – and often long-standing friendships - with people who share our aims and values.
We want to give you the best service and the best products we can.
And right at the heart of it all is a shared celebration of all things country. We love the outdoors and our beautiful countryside. We are passionate about British wildlife. We embrace the seasons through colour and texture. We combine contemporary design with traditional values.
We are also committed to our environment in the products we use – ensuring that everything we promote is environmentally friendly.
These core values are behind everything we do.
So when Tony, who is a fantastic cabinet maker, set up his market stall all those years ago to gauge reaction to his products, he established an ethos of fairness and quality which continues to this day.
His expertise and my passion for interior design create a perfect match. Within months of meeting each other in Brigg, we had opened a shop, eventually moving to Everingham, in East Yorkshire, where Tony was born and raised, in 2008.
He recalls spending many happy hours as a child watching his Grandad pottering around in his shed – hence the name of our business! You know what they say about things coming full circle…
Everything we are passionate about is here under one roof. From Grandad’s Shed, we sell a range of furniture, home accessories, gifts and bespoke handmade furniture, as well as offering a re-upholstery and restoration service. In 2017 we launched a bespoke interior design service to meet growing demand and to make good design accessible and affordable to all.

We sell a handpicked collection of solid wood furniture ranges along with home accessories and lighting. We know what is on trend and what is out there, and we can save people a fortune in time and money because we know where to source things, what to source, and how to help our customers create the look they want for their home.
As a result, we are diverse and forward thinking – recently transforming five holiday lets in the heart of York as well as being involved in complete property revamps.
But we are not all about work!
We are also supporters of various charities, which included trekking through the jungles of Sri Lanka to help raise £125,000 for Marie Curie Cancer. Here is me pictured at the top of Adams Peak after completing the challenge.
We love the outdoors and spend as much time as we can doing 'outdoorsy' things - Tony with his birds of prey, me with my horses, walking the dogs...
So this is us – or at least a flavour of us.
We look forward to welcoming you!
