ARTISANS & BUSINESSES

Family of makers

Traditionally Groves was known for their high end craftsmanship in stone masonry, joinery and building works, so it’s no surprise we love housing people who have dedicated their life to exactly these trades.

Dotted around the Yard craftsmen like WOW & Oak, Windows & Doors offer bespoke Joinery. Spoilt for choice we house several building companies like Robin Perry Ltd, Saxby & Son & Ben Curran. We also have our own in house stone mason, Emma Maiden who creates the most amazing sculptures.
