Now approaching his 40th year in the industry, Paul Agnew is a leading name in the design, manufacture and distribution of gas, wood and electric fireplaces internationally.
Entering the world of work at a young age, Paul soon found himself following in his Father’s footsteps and falling in love with the antique architectural fittings that the pair would save from old homes destined for demolition or renovation.
With an appreciation for quality antique materials, Paul continued to rescue and repurpose fixtures and fittings into his late teens and early twenties,
launching his own business whilst studying Economics at university. When his small business began to evolve and the demand caught up with and overtook the supply, Paul decided that putting high-quality reproductions on the market would be the only way forward.
His venture brought him over to the UK, where he soon gained a fantastic reputation for providing quality cast iron fireplace products. Now working with an experienced team, whose combined knowledge equates to a century’s worth of expertise in the field, Paul Agnew Designs is committed to providing high-quality, luxury and unique designs for an ever-developing market.
“I’m incredibly proud of the team we have managed to build. Over the years our team has evolved, and we now have the best in the business when it comes to designing and manufacturing. We’re all equally dedicated to producing creative and innovative designs for the industry, putting quality materials to use with care, a keen eye and excellent attention to detail. I’m excited about the launch of our new ilektro Collection, which boasts unique designs which are both bold and minimalist, with state-of-the-art technology and a whole range of features for ease of use and comfort.”
