Our Team
Foxtail Oak is driven by a growing family-led team, working out of a peaceful farmyard workshop on the Outskirts of Abergavenny, South Wales. All members of our Oak Framing Team are local, based in either Abergavenny or surrounding areas such as Hereford and Monmouth.
We have built our team slowly and carefully over the last few years, finding the right craftspeople that can meet our high standards for accuracy and attention to detail while also suiting our friendly and relaxed team culture. Making Foxtail Oak an enjoyable place to work has, and always will be, one one of our highest priorities.
As a team we are ever striving for perfection in our carpentry skills, and innovation in our designs.

The real Living Wage is the only UK wage rate that is voluntarily paid by over 11,000 UK businesses who believe their staff deserve a wage which meets everyday needs – like the weekly shop, or a surprise trip to the dentist.
Over 300,000 employees have received a pay rise as a result of the Living Wage campaign and we enjoy cross-party support. We have a broad range of employers accredited with the Foundation including half of the FTSE 100 and big household names including Nationwide, Google, LUSH, Everton FC and Chelsea FC.
