Wood You Believe It was founded by Matt Willan. Matt’s journey started some thirty years ago, registering to learn the trade he still plies today. Once qualified, Matt ventured out into the big, wide world. Well, Bolton actually! His early career played out in the fit-out of bars and clubs, locally. Between 1999 and 2007 Matt plied his trade on the bench in a couple of well-established workshops; lovingly crafting doors, window frames, porches and conservatories, he also tended restoration work for a local church.

Decades on, thanks to some amazing agency work, Matt has advanced his trajectory within the facets of joinery, moving from simple beginnings to highly bespoke work. He considers everything from home improvements, outbuilding conversions, van fitouts and home bars (a skill honed in Covid times) to be areas where his expertise has flourished. As someone who enjoys a challenge, Matt is never happier than when out of his comfort zone; allowing him to evolve as a craftsman. He refuses to settle for mediocrity, encouraging himself to be the best he can.
