OUR HISTORY

"Blakeleys was established in Kaiapoi over 
80 years ago and has always been a family
owned business. My experience in fine
woodwork started with a cabinetmaking
apprenticeship working for my father in
1953, who was also a qualified cabinetmaker".

"Two generations after my father started
Blakeleys, I am proud to have working with
me, my daughter Suzanne, my son Grant
and my wife Valmai".

"With over 100 years of combined experience,
Blakeleys are proud to create quality furniture
that will last for many generations to come".
