ABOUT US

WHO IS ENVY?

We come from humble beginnings 

and zero skills whatsoever.


We now have mad skills and experience while retaining our passion for design and creation.


Let us take your ideas and visions and turn them into reality.


THE STORY OF OUR LIVES

We

We arrived with zero skills whatsoever other than a passion for the bespoke and custom. Standing out from the crowd always attracted us but coming from humble beginnings we couldn’t afford the the sky high premiums custom work carries. The cliche of Rollls Royce appetite on a Morris Minor budget. So over the years we began to develop the skills to bring our own visions to reality.

We had failures, some of them painful, some embarrassing; but all provided an opportunity to learn and improve. We now think we are pretty good at this and our ciient’s seem to agree.

Our style isn’t for everyone but if edgy and contemporary appeals to you, we are your team. We aim to please and most importantly; you don’t need that Rolls Royce wallet to afford our services.

We are also well known for our coaching and skills sessions so if you want to get your hands dirty, just ask. It’s hugely rewarding working on your own project. Other than picking up some useful skills you also earn bragging rights with your friends and colleagues.

Simply put, we are ENVY.

STUFF WE LOVE TO DO

Our main areas of expertise


DESIGN

We have no boundaries so let your imagination run wild. Sit down with our designers and lets work through your ideas, no matter how zany or left field. In fact, we find doing this over a bottle of moonshine is generally very helpful.

BUILD STUFF

Full mechanical and engineering workshop to handle most aspects of steel working. We also love our clients getting involved which we can do in an instructive and safe manner. We also have a full blacksmith and foundry setup if old school is your jam.

MAKE BOOZE

Our beautiful still can create 100 liters of your favorite tipple. Highly configurable to make a wide range of spirits like Gin, Whiskey, Vodka or our favorite Moonshine.

Our apprentice. Aspiring designer and creator of everything fine. Makes a cracker coffee and isn’t scared of power tools. She has a smaller hammer than the boys but keeps up, occasionally overtakes on the corners. Watch this space.

BRANDS WE’VE WORKED WITH

Bunch of mad bastards but the end result was fantastic. Visitors always comment and I love being able to tell them I helped with the build. I had a lot of fun and the whole experience was enjoyable. Very good value for money.

My wife purchased me a bespoke piece of furniture for my birthday. Not sure of the process but intrigued I soon learnt the ENVY team are straight talkers and helped me firm up what I actually wanted. I found the whole experience extremely friendly and I even got to help craft my rocker chair. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone. Word of warning, don’t stay for drinks if you have important plans the next day. These guys really know how to look after their clients. A+++

Did the knife making day with a friend. Did not realize it was combined with making moonshine. Took the full day to finish the knife (which I got to design) with regular ‘shine tasting sessions to break up the day. They even stored my vehicle for the night and called me a cab. Came away with a cool knife and a flagon of booze, both of which I made. Best guys day out ever!
