Our Team

The Bath Bespoke team brings together designers, cabinet makers and joiners with a shared commitment to craftsmanship and detail. From our workshop near Bath, we design, make and install bespoke joinery and interiors for homes across the UK.

Some of our team have decades of experience, while others are just beginning their careers, but all are united by a genuine care for materials, process and making things well.

Ben James

Ben joined us at Bath Bespoke in the Autumn of 2024. He arrived with 9 years of cabinetry experience, but had tried his hand at many jobs before he found the trade for him. He had been a data cabler, bricklayer, bathroom and kitchen fitter and even worked in a Candle Factory. But furniture-making is what he really loves.

“The feeling I get when I make a piece of furniture – the hairs on my neck are standing up just talking about this! – there is no greater feeling. I wish I’d found my passion for wood earlier.”

When he’s not working, Ben loves cooking. He really enjoys making sourdough bread and is trying to master the process. He’s also a keen gardener, growing vegetables in particular. He is married with three children.

Dan joined Bath Bespoke in the summer of 2016. He trained locally with an on-site apprenticeship 17 years ago so brings with him a wealth of experience for the trade and the area.

Dan is a member of the team you will most likely meet when your furniture is being installed. His knowledge and skills ensure every piece is fitted to perfection. Dan’s an outstanding skittles player, representing his local teams twice a week.

James Etheridge

Having spent summer holidays as a child sweeping up workshop floors and glimpsing behind the scenes of traditional carpentry and craft it was no great to surprise that James went on to earn his stripes in the field, establishing a busy base of private commissions whilst working in a joinery.

Seizing the opportunity to develop these commissions into a business venture, he joined forces with school friend and Bath Bespoke Co-Founder Tom Jones-Marquez to establish the company in 2009.

James oversees production in the workshop and ensures every project that leaves the workshop is made and finished to the highest standards.

After working in product design James took the opportunity to venture out from behind the computer and make with his hands, joining the workshop team in 2019.

A keen cyclist and footballer, James keeps active at every opportunity but can also be found playing the guitar in his spare time.

Tom has long been captivated by designing and making, having spent his childhood years making go-karts, treehouses and climbing frames with his brothers.

After graduating from Leeds University with an English Literature degree, he returned to his hometown of Bath. Following a brief spell as a journalist he was drawn back to working in a joinery in Wiltshire with school friend and Bath Bespoke Co-Founder, James Etheridge. Whilst working on private commissions Tom and James took the leap and ventured into business together, starting Bath Bespoke in Tom’s parents’ garage in 2009.

Tom oversees Design, Sales and Finance for Bath Bespoke and will usually be your first point of contact working with clients on design ideas and concepts.
