We recognise that we have a vital role in helping to
protect the local and global environment and are proud
to use a wide range of sustainable products throughout
the production process. These include timbers that have
been FSC certified or Pan European approved, or have
originated from managed forests.
All our kitchens are constructed using
traditional materials and methods with
an obsessive attention to detail. We are
confident that you will not find comparable
kitchen’s built quite like this.
That’s because our way, we believe, is the
best way and that way is the Mereway.

at Unit 8, The Fordrough,
Birmingham.
1989
Colour Co-ordination
Originally only offered in Light
and Medium Oak, we are
the first kitchen company to
produce a colour co-ordinated
carcass unit. Thought novel at
the time, it is now considered
the hallmark of a quality
kitchen.

Cucina Colore
The market sees a move towards
experimenting with colour. We
respond with the introduction of
a new collection of contemporary
Italian inspired designer kitchens
which accounts for over 20% of our
business within the first 12 months.
Investing in the Future
Mereway Kitchens invest in new
spraying, polishing and finishing
technologies to become one of the
first UK manufacturers to produce
high gloss door finishes in-house.
The second generation of English
Revival is launched.
2011
25 Years of Mereway
Now firmly recognised in the
industry for our market leading
quality and service, Mereway
celebrate 25 years of success by
recreating the famous publicity
stunt from 1992 using a brand new
Audi on the current carcasses!
2012
First Viral campaign
While celebrating 25 years of
Mereway, we created a film of
a tank showing the quality of
our kitchens compared to flat
pack. The film goes viral and
is a huge hit. Visit

TRADITIONAL
hand crafted
A toy is just a toy, right?
Remember the days when a toy
was very much more than that.
solid wood
natural
It wasn’t just a toy, it was a labour of love, expressed
through the maker’s exceptional use of quality
materials and his exquisite attention to detail.
Handcrafted, hand painted and handed down from
generation to generation to become a much loved
and treasured family heirloom.
DISTINGUISHED
Sadly the art of traditional craftsmanship is not found
in many toy shops today, but you will find some fine
examples here.
English Revival kitchens are built using high quality
materials and, like the traditional toy maker, their
craftsman spent an enormous amount of time on
perfecting each individual piece resulting in a fine
quality finished kitchen.

Call me a ‘traditionalist’…
but I like the Mereway of doing things.
With designs inspired from distinguished periods in
English history, each kitchen is built to stand the test
of time and each one holds testament to traditional
carpentry skills.
This collection is called English Revival… reviving the
traditional skills of exceptional craftsman for the way
we live today.

These are the values we share with

Named English Revival, their collection
encompasses all of the above values, with
which we empathise, and are fine examples
of the high standard of quality kitchen
furniture making that can still be found

As designers and craftsmen, we create contemporary furniture that
is unique, elegant and timeless. We make, not manufacture, crafting
each piece of furniture by hand using time-honoured techniques
from our workshop on the south coast of Devon. Whilst aesthetics
are hugely important to us, we endeavour to deliver quality and
longevity in our products. Good design should stand the test of time.
Discover our passion for
building quality kitchens using
traditional tools and methods
beginning on page 14.
We pride ourselves in using the highest quality materials available
and believe that the result is a piece of furniture that will only get
better with time.
We think you will be very
impressed, by both what you
read and see.

comments. Built and hand finished to a very high standard we are

the Cooper’s craft; the art of
barrel making. The Cooper
Stool design incorporates

British craftsmanship at its very best
It starts with carefully selected timber sourced from as far away as
North America. We take the time to specify the character of the
wood required such as knots, splits and colour to suit individual
ranges. Using a straight line edger the wood is squared up, ensuring
only quality pieces of wood are used right from the very start.
Expert planing and edge smoothing prepares the wood for the next
stage where your kitchen can begin to take shape.
Traditional Hand Tools
It all starts with British
quality craftsmanship…

Planing
Hand built and hand finished in Birmingham
We use a traditional French Mitre Joint to strengthen timber frames.
Butterfly Joints are used to connect door frames together with a water
based glue to ensure ultimate strength. Every door is hand made and
sanded numerous times to within a 500 micron tolerance to ensure the
perfect finish, ready for the first paint application. It is then left to cure for
several days, sanded again and then another coat is applied. This process
can be repeated on numerous occasions to ensure the highest standards.
