A HEREFORDSHIRE building company has marked a milestone anniversary after a quarter of a century in business.

The Swainshill-based Oakwrights team marked their 25 year anniversary at their annual summer barbecue with their dedicated staff. Established in 1999 by Tim Crump and Nick Price, the company has since built over 2,000 oak framed homes along with hundreds more outbuildings, garages and extensions.

Their first architect was employed in 2000, but this soon expanded into the experienced in-house architectural team of 15 that works at Oakwrights today.

After watching the company grow into an industry leading builder of oak framed homes, Mr Crump is about to celebrate his 60th birthday himself.

As someone passionate about oak framing, engineering and a proud supporter of NMITE, he is keen to keep Herefordshire at the forefront of timber framing and providing skilled workers for the region.

Mr Crump said: “From the mega-manors of the nineties and noughties to the high-performance homes that we build today, oak and timber frames remain a top choice for self-builders, and we look forward to the next 25 years.”

The company has been recognised for their exceptional work in the industry. Its first custom-build site, Webb’s Meadow in Lyonshall, has won three industry awards in the past 18 months, while the Church View development in Swainshill has been shortlisted in the Structural Timber Awards 2024.

Oakwrights will be running appointment-based open days on August 9 and 10 to visit oak framed homes and the workshops and discuss homebuilding, garage or extension projects with the team.
