The Maghera joiners building big in London - John Bosco O’Hagan from the Specialist Group
Description
There's a Maghera company of joiners involved in some of the most prestigious commercial, leisure and residential developments in London.
If you’ve ever needed anything more complicated than a bit of shelving installed at the house and want some decent woodwork done, you’ll know that It’s always hard to find a good joiner. On Trading Up this week Jim discovers that’s possibly because most of them have been snapped up by John Bosco O’Hagan and his Maghera-based Specialist Group. He began the business in 1987 to try and offer bespoke joinery to commercial customers. Today his business includes three of his children and a wider family of 270 employees delivering high end joinery, glass and metal manufacturing and fit out contracts. Projects include some of the most prestigious commercial, leisure and residential developments in London. JB talks about his inspiration, his family and his frustration with an education system that seems to have forgotten the value of practical skills. Suzanne Wylie from the Northern Ireland Chamber of Commerce joins Jim and JB in the studio.
