Are you a true craftsperson looking for a workshop to call home? If you take genuine pride in your work and prefer crafting unique, high-quality pieces over repetitive production line work, we want you on our team.
At Cedarwell, we are a small, friendly, and busy joinery workshop in Wakefield. We don’t do boring. We specialize in bespoke, one-off pieces for both commercial and domestic customers, meaning no two projects and no two days are ever the same.
