John and Kinsley Timber Supplies Ltd helped them out with their timber requirements. John also gave them some assistance in how to go about building the 'coffin!'. Footage of John taking part in 'Wedding Stories' may be available soon, please check back from time to time.

Kinsley Timber Supplies was founded in 1946 by John Kenworthy Leach and was formerly known as JK Leach & Co.
Since then the business has been passed down from generation to generation and is currently run by Gillian Sherry and John Kenworth Sherry, JK’s Grand daughter and Great Grandson.
The techniques have changed somewhat since those times and Kinsley Timber Supplies now use the latest sawmilling equipment to provide the best possible quality timber mouldings available.

“Our companies main aim is to provide the right materials for the customers needs for the right price and to do this we feel we need to stay small and friendly and not lose the personalisation that we can provide which other companies seem to have lost. We have different members of staff specialising in different areas of the timber industry ensuring we can answer most queries and come up with solutions to most problems from hardwoods to garden products. We still cut timber to size, a service which has been lost in a lot of other firms and are able to machine special orders and requirements for any customer, not just building firms who order by the hundred, but also Joe Bloggs who comes in for a few pieces” Gillian Sherry, Director. |

| “Our family history is extremely important to us and we are proud to carry on the tradition that JK set up. We have old fashioned ideals but have teamed this with modern ways of working and producing. We are conscious of the effect we have on the environment, buying from managed forests, from countries that have management schemes set up and minimise our waste as much as possible to ensure that every possible use from the wood is maximised. We dust extract and sell the shavings for animal bedding, recycle all our paper, cardboard, plastics and metal banding and we are currently looking into having wood burning stoves to heat our premises.” John Sherry, Director. |
