Busby Fine Furniture
Neil Busby has nearly 30 years of experience in furniture restoration and bespoke furniture making, and still genuinely enjoys every aspect of the craft. Often asked whether he prefers restoring antiques or making furniture from scratch, Neil says he enjoys both equally, believing the variety between the two keeps the work fresh, rewarding and continually inspiring.
Neil’s career began in August 1988 when he started an apprenticeship in antique restoration with “Gallery Antiques” in Winchester. As part of his training, he studied Furniturecraft 555 at “Highbury College”, specialising in furniture repair and manufacture. The five-year course was completed with both merit and distinction.
After gaining further experience through a variety of roles, including periods of self-employment, Neil went on to become Head Restorer for “JW Blanchard Antiques” in Winchester, where he worked for six years before establishing his own business in its current form.
