ABOUT US
From our workshops in rural Suffolk, our small, highly skilled team produces bespoke, handmade firepits that will stand the test of time.
INTRODUCTION
In 2013 Andy Gage sketched his vision for the original English Country Sphere, it was hand drawn and freehand plasma cut from a 6mm-thick steel ball on his farm on the Essex/Suffolk border. This was the birth of The Firepit Company.
Andy grew the business and soon after asked his good friend Jason André to help run the company. Andy now spends the majority of his time running his farm and providing advice and support to The Firepit Company. The Firepit Company is now run by Jason and his wife Diana and continues to go from strength to strength.
Sustainability is at the heart of our operations. We source all our materials from within Britain, prioritising suppliers within a few miles of our base. This approach not only supports local businesses but also reduces our carbon footprint, aligning with our eco-friendly ethos.
At The Firepit Company, we believe in more than just making products; we believe in creating experiences. Whether you’re gathering with friends and family around one of our firepits or enjoying a quiet evening under the stars, our goal is to enhance your outdoor living with warmth and style.
