Bio:

NEJ Stevenson Ltd are designers and makers of fine custom made furniture and bespoke architectural joinery.

As cabinetmakers to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, they have developed an enviable reputation for crafting some of the finest contemporary and heritage furniture available. From individual pieces to entire rooms, their furniture can be found within opulent private residences, historic buildings, independent schools, universities and places of worship.

Fiona has been with the company for over 20 years and is responsible for the management of the company’s finances and financial management of the projects.

Fiona is a qualified Electrical and Electronic Engineer and prior to joining the company, worked in the Automation and Marine Industry. Her engineering and project management experience was developed on multi-million pound projects for the Royal Navy, U.S. Navy and a variety of industrial contracts for airports and steelworks.

“I am passionate about British design and manufacturing and ensuring that our skills for both engineering and cabinet making are kept high in the UK. We are extremely proud of the work we have undertaken and the skill level of our designers, cabinet makers and polishers. There is a shortage of skilled cabinet makers and as an ambassador for Design and Technology, I hope to be able to encourage schools to promote D&T and inspire their pupils to consider our industry as a profession to follow.”
