ABOUT

OUR HISTORY

Decades of Dedication

Woodland began its journey in 1987, establishing itself as a trusted designer and manufacturer of quality kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom furniture.

Just two years later, a showroom opened in Ballymena, followed by the construction of a dedicated manufacturing facility in Rasharkin in 1990. With a growing reputation, Woodland expanded in 1996 to supply fitted furniture for local contractors and schools. In 2002, the second generation of the McCloskey family joined the business, bringing fresh energy and vision.

In 2005, Woodland responded to increasing demand by opening a 98,000-square-foot manufacturing facility, enabling the company to begin exporting flat-pack furniture to the UK in 2010. The launch of a Contracts division in 2013 positioned Woodland as a key player in the hotel and leisure sectors.

Expansion continued with the addition of a new Product Development and Marketing Suite in 2017 and a 33,000-square-foot assembly facility in 2018, bringing the total facility space to 138,000 square feet. By 2019, Woodland’s turnover neared £20 million, driven by successful hotel fit-outs and innovative bathroom furniture developments.
