The company started with three members of staff; Andrew, his father David and Clive Hannan who remain with the company today.

It all began in 1998, with a tabletop edge banding machine and portable electric circular saw. A stark comparison with the digital machinery of today.

Fast forward 20 years. Cubicle Centre has a proud history.

With three generations of joinery and manufacturing experience Cubicle Centre has become a strong and trusted name within the construction industry.~

The company employs around 50 people from local areas. It has also supported many local organisations.

Since those small beginnings it has launched various other brands, and now produces school furniture, specialist joinery products, commercial plumbing supplies and, more recently, fire doors.

They have supplied and delivered cubicles across the UK to lots of different clients. These include holiday parks, schools, pubs and nightclubs, the list goes on.

Cubicle Centre continues to embrace new manufacturing technologies, whilst still remaining true to its core family values.

The next 20 years will be an interesting time as Andrew Thorpe and his son Rob look towards the future.

They hope to extend their reach beyond the UK and into the rest of Europe as a market leader.
