About Us

We are an independent family business specialising in traditional and modern wood finishing products. In addition we also supply many related materials including metal treatments, floor sealers & polishes, cabinet brassware, packing materials, safety equipment and much more.
 Originally founded in 1983 as John Penny Antique Services, by John Penny himself. He offered an unrivalled van sales service direct to the door, serving a wide variety of antique restorers, French polishers and furniture makers covering six counties in southern England. Customers were able to buy direct from this mobile shop, which is unique in this industry. This service is still operating today....
