David Harcourt of Stourbridge Chamber of Trade, approached Porter and Woodman's WoodenBox UK division with a challenge - to make a bespoke planter for one of the roads into Stourbridge Town Centre.

You might have thought that this was a challenge too far, but for a skilled Wood Shop that's used to making anything from bespoke wooden packaging and chalkboards through to wooden chicken runs, it was a challenge they took in their stride!

Porter and Woodman's Operations Director, Ian Williams, met with Mr. Harcourt and Council Representatives at the site on the traffic island at the bottom of Stourbridge Ring Road, to discuss the size and design of planter required. A week later, the planter was delivered direct to the site - about 400 yards from our Mill Race Lane factory - and a day after that Council Workers filled the planter with soil and flowers, brightening up the Wolverhampton Road approach to the Town Centre.
