Jason Akuhata-Brown Furniture Restorer Established in Oct 1996, English Cottage started from humble beginnings by Jason Akuhata-Brown.

Established in Oct 1996, English Cottage started from humble beginnings. Three years earlier, Jason Akuhata-Brown, the owner began restoring furniture as a hobby. “I worked in an up-market men's wear store in Gisborne and during winter it was very quiet. I bought an old drawer home and began to restore it to keep myself occupied. I would throw a pair of overalls on over my suit and tie and when a customer would come in I could quickly transform! The first time I put a finishing oil on the wood it transformed and so did I, from that moment on I was hooked. I began restoring, quite crudely at that stage, everything I could get my hands on. I eventually left a full time job to pursue a passion that still exists today! Operating at first from a dirt floor Jason began self employment with no prior business experience “One thing I would recommend is for anyone starting a business, take a small business course. I have remained in business for 21 years thanks to the grace of God and the amazing support from Meredith, my wife, and my three beautiful children, Kenya, Casey and Niko. I would also like to acknowledge my wonderful grandparents and parents who taught me how to work hard, enjoy my family and the importance of treating people well - haere, haere, moe mai ra.
