Meet the Staff

Terry Brazier, owner, attended the London College of Furniture and then worked for a Bond Street Antique Dealer before establishing Kendals in 1982.
For several years Terry owned an antique shop in London. As the parking problems became more difficult, it was decided to concentrate on the furniture restoration side of the business that has become steadily busier.
Kendals was taken from the name of the cottage in Huntingdon from where the business was started.

Gary Batterbee Kendals  

Gary, Restorer / Polisher, joined Kendals in 1985. He has been trained in all aspects of furniture repair and French polishing and now looks after the day-to-day running of the repair department.

John, Upholsterer, came to Kendals when Terry Brazier purchased an existing Upholstery business in 1989. John's 23 years experience in this field has complimented the restoration business making Kendals one of the few companies who offer the full range of skills, which customers have come to rely on. John is responsible for the Upholstery department and often looks after the incoming phone calls when Terry is out of the office.

James, Trainee Restorer / Polisher, joined the company in 2002 and is currently working closely with Gary Batterbee under the watchful eye of Terry Brazier. As well as continuing his training, James is often seen assisting with the collecting and delivering of customers' furniture.

Bob has been a cabinet maker and furniture restorer for over thirty five years. He is, in all senses of the word, a craftsman whose skill and depth of knowledge greatly adds to the team at Kendals.

"At Kendals, we believe that the customer is always right - most of the time!"
