The company
At Corston Architectural Detail, everything we do is about taking the stress out of renovations. Our collections of switches and sockets, hardware and lighting are designed to coordinate effortlessly. We precisely design and engineer every detail, and take obsessive care to make sure Corston products feel great. And we make sure that every point in our customers’ journey with us is a positive one.
Founded by a small team of creative designers and engineers, we’ve grown quickly in our first three years in the UK. We’ve got ambitious plans to expand, and are looking for enthusiastic, engaging people to help us build our brand in Europe from the ground up.
