Derek Barrett
Founder, Derek Barrett Design Ltd

"After earning my degree in Furniture Design and Craftsmanship in 2006, I founded Derek Barrett Design Ltd in 2017. I believe that exceptional furniture starts and ends with a deep understanding of my clients’ needs - both aesthetic and functional. Since then, the business has gone from strength to strength, backed by glowing testimonials and a loyal following of over 200k on my social channels. I'm excited to share how showcasing my journey on social media has helped fuel that growth, along with the key machinery investments that have supported me along the way."

Now, as the first Advisory Board member of the Professional Woodworking Expo, Derek brings his expertise, creativity, and audience to the event -where he will help shape the show’s content, deliver insightful live talks, and lead dynamic demonstrations.
