To ensure the highest quality of its wild bird and animal products, Johnston & Jeff has decided to make them themselves in a completely equipped and fully functioning wood shop on its extensive manufacturing site in Yorkshire...

Managing director Richard Johnston says: “The only way we could produce such products to the same quality standards of our foods, was to make these ourselves. If it’s got the Johnston & Jeff name on it, then it has to match the very highest standards. For us, there’s no other way.

“There’s plenty of cheap, badly made imported products on the market if you want such stuff. But you only have to compare it with ours to understand where we’re going with this – the company’s ethos is premium and quality, and translate that into wooden products and you get a range that’s built to last, handmade, and by craftsmen, with critical details such as mitred joints, pacified screws for longevity, and hand dipped using a water-based non-toxic stain. We’re proud of what we’re doing.

“And as a result we now have the capability and the capacity to do anything in wood. As a manufacturer we can produce bird tables, nest boxes, chicken coups, rabbit hutches, planters, anything - and indeed any large scale bespoke work.”
