St Nicholas, Cuddington
St Nicholas Church, Cuddington had St Magnus stacking benches, chairs and armchairs made by Treske as part of their church reordering. The brief was to seat 60 on stacking chairs and to provide a further 23 two to three seater, easy to move and flexible, stacking benches.
Based on the St Magnus design the benches and chairs were upholstered rather than rush seated, and made in oak. Members of the PCC came to Treske to view the workshops both prior to and during manufacturing, and with Treske making a photographic record of the work, were able to keep their church informed of progress to the delivery deadline.
Treske take an enormous amount of care to consult and advise their clients to make sure their needs are met and everyone is kept informed.
