Today marks five years since Woody and I got married.

Although, in lots of ways, it feels like we’ve been building a life together for much longer than that.

When we met just over ten years ago, neither of us could have imagined what the next decade would bring. Woody’s was still somewhere in the future. So were two little boys, a workshop, hundreds of projects, countless early mornings, late nights, brilliant decisions, terrible decisions and all the growing up that seems to happen somewhere in between.

And I think that’s why this anniversary has made us want to stop for a minute.

Because we’re also approaching ten years of Woody’s, and when you spend so much of your life looking at what needs doing next, it’s very easy to forget to look at everything you’ve already done.

People will call us months, sometimes years, after we’ve finished their home and say, “You probably won’t remember me…”

We do. Every time.

We might play it cool, but there genuinely isn’t a name, a house or a job we don’t remember. The good, the bad and the ugly. We still talk about them. Each one taught us something, introduced us to someone, challenged us or changed the way we do things. Collectively, they’ve shaped Woody’s into what it is today.

And I suppose that’s what the last ten years with Woody have been too.

Building something together. Learning as we go. Getting things wrong. Getting plenty right. Occasionally driving each other completely mad. And somehow creating a business and a family in the middle of it all.

We’ve had the best summer together this year. Proper time out, with these two, and time to appreciate just how much life has changed since we first met.

Now we’re ready for routine again. Ready to get back to work and hit the ground running, but hopefully remembering to leave a little more room to pause, enjoy the projects while we’re actually in them, appreciate the people behind them and think about where we’re going next.

Woody’s is a family business in the truest sense. We spend our days helping people create homes for their families, while working hard to build a life and a home for ours.

Before Woody turns up, there are a few things worth getting sorted.

From having a clear site and knowing where you want your joins, to having your sink and hob ready to go.

None of it needs to be complicated. A little preparation just means Woody can get on with what he does best: making sure everything is going to fit, look right and work properly.

And, of course, there is one final piece of preparation that should never be overlooked… 👀

Save this for when your templating appointment rolls around and thank us later.

There are some parts of our business that rarely make it onto Instagram.

Health & Safety is one of them.

It doesn’t produce beautiful polished concrete floors. It won’t win us design awards. It isn’t particularly glamorous.

But it is one of the most important investments we make.

Every surface we create starts with people. Our responsibility is to make sure those people go home safely at the end of every day.

For the latest Woody’s REAL, I sat down with our dedicated Health & Safety Officer, Stephen Gates, to talk about risk assessments, RAMS, dynamic risk assessment and why Health & Safety should never be treated as a box-ticking exercise.

We discuss why paperwork should be a living document rather than something filed away in a folder, and how creating a genuine culture of awareness is far more important than simply complying with regulations.

It’s a conversation that probably won’t go viral.

But we think it’s an important one.

🎥 Watch the full Woody’s REAL and read the accompanying article on our Substack.

C O N C R E T E

by The Concrete Society, July 2026

We’re delighted to share that Still House has been featured on the cover of this month’s Concrete magazine by The Concrete Society, alongside a full project case study 👏🏼

This was a particularly special project for us.

From the very beginning, it was a genuine collaboration with an architect whose attention to detail challenged every decision, and clients who fully embraced concrete for what it is. There was never an expectation for perfection or uniformity; instead, they understood and celebrated the movement, variation and character that make concrete such an honest material.

Looking back, Still House remains one of the projects we’re most proud of. From the integrated basins and vanities to the terrazzo furniture and architectural concrete throughout, every element was considered as part of a wider material palette.

A huge thank you to everyone involved, and to The Concrete Society for the opportunity to share the story.

If you’d like to read the full case study, just drop us a message and we’ll happily send you a copy. Or better yet, become a subscriber to Concrete magazine. If you’re interested in architecture, craftsmanship and concrete, it’s well worth a read.

‘Why?’

I was asked this question recently at a seminar.

“Why do you do what you do?”

It can’t simply be for financial gain, that’s a consequence, not a purpose.

And it can’t just be “because it’s my job.”

There has to be a deeper why.

Maybe this is ours.

We often say that when you choose Woody’s, you don’t just receive a polished concrete floor or a cast concrete worktop.

You get us. All of us.

Our ideas, craftsmanship and, our care. Sleepless nights. Excitement. Our relentless pursuit of getting it right.

We care, probably more than anyone realises (and certainly more than we’d ever admit), about how people feel when they first walk into a finished space. We think about our projects long after we’ve left site. We love watching them become part of someone’s everyday life.

And then, every now and again, one of those homes appears on the cover of a magazine.

Those moments never get old.

They’re always the same.

“Did we actually make that?”

Seeing Seb and Camilla’s beautiful home recognised on the cover of this month’s Kitchens Bedrooms & Bathrooms is an enormous privilege, not because our work is featured, but because it represents something much bigger.

It represents trust.

The trust our clients place in us to create something that will become part of their home and their story.

Woody’s has an incredible team (including the most wonderful publicist), but none of this begins with us. It begins with clients who choose to believe in what we do, architects and designers who champion our work, and collaborators who share the same commitment to creating something exceptional.

For that, we’re incredibly grateful.

Thank you to everyone involved in bringing this project to life.

As always, credit where it’s so richly deserved

Introducing our first panelist.

We’re delighted to welcome Greg Daulby, Senior Designer at COR DOMI , to this year’s Workshop Open panel.

Greg has worked in kitchen and furniture design throughout his career and is a true designer at heart. With a background spanning bespoke furniture design, kitchen design and advanced CAD, he brings a wealth of technical expertise alongside a deep passion for creating beautiful, functional spaces.

Over the years, Greg and the team at COR DOMI have worked closely with Woody’s on a number of luxury residential developments, making him a familiar face and valued collaborator.

We’re especially excited to have Greg join us this year as he’s been with us from the beginning, a true Workshop Open OG!

They’re back!

After months of development, testing and refining, our concrete samples are finally back in stock.

Alongside the collection you already know and love, we’ve introduced new shades, updated finishes and a selection of individual samples, making it easier than ever to explore the possibilities of concrete in your own project.

Each sample is crafted, finished and sealed using the same process as our full-size surfaces, giving you a true representation of the material you’ll live with every day.

Available to purchase now - link in bio - or via our website.

All in the details.

When we returned to photograph this project, almost a year after installation, I asked the homeowner how she’d found living with concrete day-to-day.

She admitted she’d been nervous at first (a fairly natural reaction when you’re investing in a bespoke surface and planning to use it every day!)

What struck me was how quickly that concern had disappeared. The worktops had become part of everyday life; cooking, entertaining, family life and everything in between.

This project is a good example of why concrete continues to surprise people.

The pop-up power unit shown here is concealed within the worktop when not in use, creating a clean, uninterrupted surface. When needed, it rises effortlessly to provide power exactly where it’s required.

Combined with integrated sinks, bespoke cut-outs, hand-cut drain grooves, seamless detailing and custom colours, concrete offers a level of design flexibility that few materials can match.

And unlike many manufactured or natural stone surfaces, concrete can often be refinished and resealed in the future, helping it to age gracefully alongside the homes it inhabits.

We’re delighted to announce that registration is now open for Woody’s Workshop Open 2026

Friday 18th September | Henley-on-Thames

Now in its third year, Woody’s Workshop Open was created to do something quite simple: open the doors, share the process and create space for honest conversations about materials.

This year’s theme, Specified with Confidence: The Role of Material Intelligence in Modern Design, explores how manufacturers, designers and architects can make informed decisions about the products they choose, recommend and specify.

Join us for:
• A live casting demonstration from Woody
• An expert Q&A panel featuring professionals from design, architecture and material aftercare
• Lunch, refreshments and plenty of time to connect with fellow industry professionals
• A behind the scenes look at how our surfaces are designed, cast and finished

Whether you’re specifying materials every day or simply curious to learn more about how they perform beyond the brochure, we’d love to welcome you.

Places are limited and allocated on a first come, first served basis.

You can reserve your place via the link in our bio.

We’ll be announcing our guest speakers over the coming weeks, so keep an eye on our page for updates.

We look forward to seeing some familiar faces and meeting plenty of new ones.
