Treske

What Treske does

Treske is an independent, family-owned bespoke furniture and kitchen manufacturer based in Thirsk, North Yorkshire, producing made-to-order hardwood furniture for residential and commercial clients across the UK. Founded in 1973 by John Gormley in a Victorian Maltings building dating to c.1850, the company combines traditional cabinet-making with modern design and manufacturing technology — in-house CAD design using Solidworks and Solidcam, plus 3-axis and 5-axis CNC routing for precision components and 3D carving. The product portfolio spans bespoke fitted kitchens (Shaker, Traditional, Contemporary styles), standalone and fitted bedroom furniture, dining and living room pieces, and ecclesiastical, crematorium, hospitality, education, and corporate refurbishment projects. Distributed sub-brands include the Artisan Collection (Bosnia, including the Red Dot-winning Neva Light chair), Rodam (Germany), GOES (Bosnia), and HOWE (educational multi-functional furniture).

The business operates a sales-led, direct-to-consumer and field-sales go-to-market: customers engage via the Thirsk showroom or on-site home and commercial consultations, with designs developed through collaborative consultation and 3D visualisation before workshop production. Revenue streams are one-time project sales — bespoke kitchen cabinetry typically from £20,000, freestanding items from under £1,000 to over £11,000 — supplemented by a Trade CNC Services line serving other furniture makers, architects, and interior designers. Free UK mainland delivery and own specialist fitting teams complete the vertical integration. Sustainability is embedded in sourcing (FSC-certified hardwoods, Woodland Heritage membership) and operations (waste-to-heat recycling, automatic extraction reducing electricity use by up to 25%). Treske holds the Manufacturing Guild Mark from the Worshipful Company of Furniture Makers and the Design Guild Mark, and is managed day-to-day by Managing Director Justin Bartlett and Sales Director Russell Clynch.
