Our History

Good Directions Group of Companies: A Legacy of Craftsmanship, Innovation & Architectural Excellence

​

Good Directions stands at the forefront of architectural product manufacturing, bringing together the heritage, expertise, and engineering excellence of some of the UK’s most respected names in the industry. Founded in 1988 as a family run business, our company began as a specialist manufacturer of high quality clocks and weathervanes. Over the years, we have expanded into a leader in architectural innovation, supplying landmark projects across the UK.

​

Although a management buyout was completed in 2020, Good Directions remains very much a family business at heart, continuing to uphold the values of quality, integrity, and craftsmanship that have defined us from the very beginning.

​

Our extensive portfolio encompasses meticulously crafted exterior and interior clocks, bespoke roof turrets, precision-engineered GRP structures, elegant weathervanes, high-quality street furniture, and premium rainwater systems crafted from copper, stainless steel, and zinc. With decades of experience, we have earned a reputation for seamlessly blending traditional craftsmanship with state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques.

​

Located in Botley, Hampshire, our advanced 19,000 sq ft manufacturing facility is a testament to our commitment to quality and precision. Combining cutting edge technology with time honoured artisan techniques, we ensure every product meets the highest standards of durability, aesthetics, and performance. Our contemporary offices provide a welcoming space for clients to explore our products, discuss bespoke commissions, and take guided tours of our factory, offering an inside look at the expertise behind our work.

 

To further enrich our offerings, we collaborate with an exclusive network of specialist partners, enabling us to provide comprehensive solutions for architectural projects. Our expertise extends to railway heritage preservation, architectural restoration and repair, high end interior fit-outs, and landscape design, ensuring we meet the diverse needs of architects, developers, and conservationists alike.

​

At Good Directions, our unwavering commitment to excellence, innovation, and superior craftsmanship ensures that every project is not only built to last but designed to inspire. With a proud legacy of enhancing architectural landscapes across the UK, we continue to set the benchmark in bespoke manufacturing and design, remaining true to our family roots while embracing the future.
