Boston-area joinery business up for two national honours, helped by work on luxurious Mayfair project

Up for national honours ... George Barnsdale team members.

George Barnsdale, of Donington, is in the running for Woodworking Project of the Year and Health and Safety Hero at this year’s BMF (British Woodworking Federation) Awards.

The business – which designs and manufactures timber windows and doors – received its Project of the Year nod for its work on Twenty Grosvenor Square, in London’s Mayfair.

George Barnsdale was chosen for the design, manufacture, and installation of more than 200 customised wooden windows and doors for the building – the ex-US Navy HQ and now a luxury residential development.

Tom Wright, managing director, said: “We are delighted that our growing expertise in large commercial projects like this has been officially recognised. Whether we win or not, it is great to be one of just three finalists.”

The winners will be announced when the awards are held on Friday, November 22, at the Honourable Society of Lincoln’s Inn, London.
