INTERIOR design business Richard Grafton Interiors has joined forces with interior installations contractor Andrew Freestone to launch a new joint venture firm called Grafton Freestone.

The new Harrogate-based venture will be jointly owned by Richard Grafton Interiors and Andrew Freestone, who has a 16-year career history with Helmsley-based bespoke staircase company Bisca and more recently ran his own business AMF Designs in Leeds. The new venture will initially handle all bedroom, bathroom and wet room project installations for Richard Grafton Interiors. The firm will also deliver other architectural projects such as garden buildings, staircases and other bespoke architectural design projects.

Grafton Freestone will initially employ three staff and the company has plans to extend to other regions and recruit new staff.
