CHURCH furniture specialist Treske has completed what has been described as one of its most significant commissions in its history.

The Thirsk-based company has designed, manufactured and supplied bespoke nave furniture for Manchester Cathedral.

The furniture has been described as “absolutely stunning” by Anthony O’Connor, head of development and fund-raising at the cathedral.

Justin Bartlett, managing director of Treske, said: “We were honoured to be asked to provide the nave furniture, including the altar, for Manchester Cathedral. This was a very important commission for us, underlining our ambition to be the finest church furniture designer and manufacturer in the UK.”

The furniture order comprises 58 different pieces.
