Owner Andy Tompkins first starts the business with nothing more than a basic tool kit and a few power tools, operating from a modest barn near Daventry. Relocated to a small industrial unit close to the M1 motorway, and with it appointed Sally into a full time position. Andy advertised his first apprentice vacancy, a position which was filled by Colin Ballinger who is now the company's Operations Director.
Purchased our first computer controlled machine and Andrew Goodchild became the company's CNC Manager. The machine was housed in a separate factory close to our main works. During our history we have continually provided apprenticeship schemes for many young joiners, a trend which continues to this day.

We are entrusted to deliver interior and exterior solutions for a wide range of commercial partners. We go the extra mile to ensure you have a positive experience, giving you the service you deserve. There is no substitute for experience - and here at Tompkins Joinery we are fortunate to have a great team of people.
We have always placed a particular emphasis on recruiting and training young people. In part, this is because we are determined to safeguard our skills long into the future and also because it is a tremendous privilege helping them make the transition from being a scholar to being a competent tradesman, who is capable of overcoming the various complexities the job often has a way of throwing up.
Our large modern facilities, located in Daventry, Northamptonshire provide an ideal base amongst Britain's rural farming communities, along with easy access to the motorway network. We are situated just 16 miles east of Royal Leamington Spa and 16 miles north of Banbury, one of the gateways to the Cotswolds, and less than an hour from London.
We often hear manufacturers talking about operating from 'extensive facilities' so they have the flexibility to cope with jobs of all sizes. But it can be easy to overlook the fact that neither of these things on their own are of value, unless the people who operate from them have the ability to maximise their potential for the benefit of their customers.
