A 25-year-old furniture maker from Levenmouth has taken a significant step in growing his business by becoming one of the first tenants to move into a newly-built unit at Levenmouth Business Park.
Webster Designs Fife, founded by Jack Webster, has moved into the 1,001 sq ft unit after three successful years of running the business from home.
The business park is part of the £58 million Fife industrial innovation investment programme (Fife i3) and offers ‘high-quality, modern, competitively priced units’ provided by Fife Council.
The move will allow Webster Designs to diversify its product line, with plans to add larger items like coffee tables and dining tables alongside his signature pieces – with his resin and wood coasters and placemats having been bought as far afield as America, Australia, and across Europe.
The company uses locally-sourced wood – particularly burrs and live edge wood that would otherwise be discarded – to add a unique twist to designs. In addition to his signature resin pieces, Jack also crafts unique soap dishes using Jesmonite, an eco-friendly polymer, further expanding his range of handmade home décor.
Jack said, “I’ve always wanted to base my business in Levenmouth. This new unit at Levenmouth Business Park provides the space I need to increase production and reduce wait times. The support from Business Gateway Fife and Fife Council’s economic development team has been invaluable. I’m excited to grow my business right here in Levenmouth.”
Pamela Stevenson, service manager for economic development at Fife Council, added, “We are pleased to welcome Webster Designs Fife Ltd to Levenmouth Business Park. Our units offer high-quality, flexible space at competitive rates, and we’re confident this will help Jack grow his business and contribute to the local economy.”
