Our Story
Founded in 1996 by friends John Sims‑Hilditch and Giles Redman, Neptune design and makes pieces for your whole home. Recognised for our exacting standards, design‑led aesthetic and expert craftsmanship, we’re perhaps most known for kitchens – with heirloom‑worthy dressers not far behind. Neptune’s trademark ‘look’ is British: refined, simple, sturdy, and with an almost obsessive attention to detail. We’re also respected for our commitment to craft and quality. Put simply, we make things we’re proud of, and that are designed to last a lifetime.
