Let me introduce myself. My name’s Jonathan East. I’m the Owner and Managing Director of Good Measure. Somehow 25 years has flown past and I have accrued a wealth of dedicated cabinet design and construction. Made all the better by some great clients. I wanted to write today about what motivates us here at Good Measure and therefore sets us apart from the big boys in furniture and storage solutions.
People often ask what it is we do here at Good Measure. Do we fit windows and doors, build outdoor offices or make tables? Do we just construct or also get involved in the design process? So, we thought we’d down tools and write down what exactly we do do.

The computer may not be sharpest tool in the physical sense, but it has now become the single most effective cutting edge for design, communication and production. I began my journey in this industry, like many, as an apprentice at the age of 16. I loved it then as I still do now but for different reasons. Continue reading “Is this now the sharpest tool in our toolbox?”
