11 10 Barlow Tyrie The Collections 2024 1949 After WWII we resumed production, initially using home-grown timber to produce rustic outdoor furniture but later reverting to our traditional use of premium teak, supplying the fashionable and exclusive London stores of the time, including Harrods, Maples, and Heals. 1970 After nearly 50 years, we moved from Leytonstone to the old market town of Braintree in Essex. This move benefited from a scheme run by The Greater London Council in several designated expanding towns. The scheme provided housing for residents of London that were prepared to move away from areas being redeveloped and included some of our employees. 1920 Victor Tyrie and Frederick Barlow, together with a few others, started their business in London, initially in Walthamstow but then moving to a stable that was no longer in use behind a terrace of Victorian houses in nearby Leytonstone. 1986 We opened an office and warehouse in the USA to serve our increasingly important market in North America. 2020 Victor Tyrie’s son, Peter and grandsons, Mark and James manage the company, making Barlow Tyrie a truly family business with a continuing legacy of designing and manufacturing some of the highest quality outdoor furniture money can buy. 1992 In response to a policy of the Indonesian government to stop the export of teak that we had sourced there since the early 1980s; we acquired a factory on the island of Java, which we expanded to approximately 300,000 sq.ft. and today employ around 300 local people. A century of excellence Since starting from humble beginnings as a specialist manufacturer of teakwood outdoor furniture in East London over 100 years ago, we have progressed and are now known and respected worldwide as producing luxury outdoor furniture that strikes the highest note in quality and style.
