Trained in Mechanical Engineering, Nick has had a varied entrepreneurial career, first in pharmaceutical manufacturing then founding and building up an international sports radio business. In 2012, following a management buyout the opportunity to be involved in this highly skilled environment couldn't be passed up.
To this day Nick is still in awe of how our craftsmen transform the incoming planks into such beautiful end products. With 27 years of managing family life, children growing up and having overseen the building of a new family home, Lois was keen to take on another project. What better than to work with her husband keeping the boys and the books in order.

I had the need of a replacement solid Oak front door and was highly recommended to approach Romsey Glass and Joinery. I obtained two quotations which were were very similar and chose RGJ .
The door was delivered on time and is absolutely stunning. Every effort was made to match the design of two other Oak doors on the front elevation of the house. I was invited to visit RGJ on two occasions to view the progress of work and was impressed with the efforts that were being made to the detail of the design and structure of the door.
Full marks to Nick Opperman and his team - a great job !!

Romsey Joinery has done two terrific jobs for me, and I've been very pleased with the precision and quality of their workmanship, on-time delivery and focus on service.
My house is old, nothing is square, vertical or parallel, and everything has to be made to fit. The main project was the manufacture of 14 double glazed hardwood windows, followed by built-in shelving, cupboards and drawer units. In a wonky house, the build precision needed for these to work properly and look good is almost impossible for builders' carpenters to achieve on site, but it's also very tricky to be sure that units constructed

Absolutely shocking customer care. Can’t believe how I have just been spoken to by Nick. I own a salon in Romsey. Was looking to get two glass shelves replaced and called them to get a quote. Our units had to be dismantled to get the correct measurements meaning our mirrors needed to be removed. After the two men left I noticed a chunk of glass about 6 inches long had been chipped off one side of the mirror. The mirror had been replaced and neither of them said anything. I called Nick and was told he knew and would be replacing the mirror. After chasing for a couple of weeks it was delivered
