Woodburning Solutions
Ten years ago James O'Connor moved to Suffolk and along with his
partner, Andrea, launched a business selling and installing wood burning
stoves. The business grew and expanded and last year James joined
forces with his long time friend, Stuart Cave, in order to open another
Wood Burning Solutions showroom in Kent.
The doors opened last August and during the
winter months Stuart was inundated with calls
from prospective customers. Neither he nor
James could believe the way in which the
business took off. James had long felt that a
wood burning stove company would be
successful in his old home county, but with Stuart
managing the business on a day-to-day basis
the company has gone from strength to strength
in a very short space of time.
Wood Burning Solutions are keen to help
people understand not only the way in which
stoves can heat your home and save you money,
but also the difference between the cheap stoves
you can find online which are made in far flung
lands, to those that are made either in the UK or
Scandinavia.
Stuart says: "The truth is you get what you
pay for, and it is especially true when you come
to the world of stoves. We aren't interested in
selling people cheap stoves which we know will
eat up loads of fuel and where the glass will
blacken in minutes. We want people to enjoy

their stoves because they are burning so little
fuel and can enjoy the look of the fire – not dirty
glass. If they get this along with a great level of
service they tell their friends and so you can build
up your business. We're not interested in short
term."
Autumn is fast approaching, so why not
give Woodburning Solutions a call or pop into
the showroom and have a chat with their friendly
staff.
