Our Heritage

Creating a business with exacting standards, a sharp eye for detail, an unwavering insistence on the very highest standards and building a reputation for excellent service doesn’t happen overnight. In the case of Richard Davonport, it is a lifetime’s work.

Davonport moved to its new home in 2013; a 1.2 acre site in Colchester comprising of a 20,000sq ft workshop, a retail showroom and nearly 30 employees. Despite the success of the brand and size of the business, Richard Davonport’s ethos remains the same as it did when he opened his very first workshop; a strong focus on quality materials, traditional craft and furniture, without compromise.

The Bigger Picture

When you buy your kitchen from Davonport you can rest assured that you are dealing with an environmentally conscious company.

Davonport furniture is all designed and manufactured in the UK using materials that are sourced from suppliers who match our commitment to the environment and local industries.

We strive to minimise our ecological impact without compromising our high standards. Davonport is dedicated to minimising pollution, energy consumption and distribution overheads while also supporting local businesses. Wood is a great renewable resource and if managed sensitively the extraction of timber is not detrimental to the global environment. On the contrary, wood is organic, non-toxic, recyclable and biodegradable. Equally as important, making furniture from wood requires less energy than materials such as steel or aluminium, meaning less carbon dioxide in the environment.
