SEHBAC has partnered with Genesis Orwell Mencap to display their incredible range of high-quality solid timber garden furniture in SEHBAC’s three flagship showrooms located in Ipswich, Colchester, and Chelmsford.
This collaboration not only brings beautiful, handcrafted outdoor furniture to local communities, but also highlights the inspiring work of Genesis Orwell Mencap, a charity supporting adults and young people with learning and physical disabilities.
Supporting Local Talent and Exceptional Craftsmanship
Genesis Orwell Mencap is known for its dedication to providing high-quality day care services in Ipswich, helping individuals with disabilities lead independent and fulfilling lives. In addition to their care services, they also run social enterprises that provide invaluable work experience and training for their clients. One of the most notable of these is the Genesis Garden Furniture collection, which includes a variety of products from stylish garden benches and dining sets to charming bird boxes and bug hotels.
Rob Hart, the Chief Executive of Genesis Orwell Mencap, shared his pride in the work being done by their team:
“Our workshop customers with learning disabilities make the most amazing, high-quality garden furniture. Every stage of the construction process is carried out on site by people with disabilities, under the supervision of our exceptionally skilled staff. We use traditional construction methods and techniques such as mortise and tenon jointing to ensure each piece is of the highest quality.”
This partnership with SEHBAC offers a unique opportunity for the furniture to be showcased in high-traffic showrooms, allowing local customers to experience the craftsmanship first hand. It’s not only about beautiful products but also about making a positive difference in the lives of those who create them.

A Visit That Inspired a Strong Partnership
Peter Wheeler, Managing Director of SEHBAC, had the privilege of visiting the Genesis workshop to see the work being done first hand. As a former installer, Peter was deeply impressed by the level of craftsmanship, attention to detail, and dedication displayed by the team at Genesis Orwell Mencap.
He described the visit as both an eye-opener and an inspiration, which led him to offer SEHBAC’s support in any way possible. Peter commented:
“I was truly amazed by the quality and craftsmanship of the garden furniture produced by the team at Genesis Orwell Mencap. Their dedication and skill are evident in every piece they make, and I wanted to ensure that our customers had the chance to experience this incredible work. We’re thrilled to be showcasing their products in our showrooms and helping bring attention to the importance of supporting local, ethical craftsmanship.”
Giving Back to the Community
Through this partnership, SEHBAC is not only promoting beautiful, handcrafted products but is also giving back to the community by supporting a local charity that empowers individuals with disabilities. The collaboration highlights the importance of social enterprises in providing meaningful work experience and fostering skills that can lead to greater independence and fulfilment for people with disabilities.

“We are incredibly grateful to Peter and the SEHBAC team for the support they have provided in displaying our products in their amazing showrooms.
