Award Winning Thatchers

The Team

Ian Parkinson

38 years of experience in the trade and 6 times winner of Best Thatched Roof competition.

Ian Served his apprenticeship with the same Warwickshire based company in 1982 and again worked as a journeyman refining his skills to gain a broader range of thatching knowledge before setting up Parkinsons in 1992.

Ian had an idea what sort of work he wanted to do and the sort of environment in which to do it and has perused a thatching career that was to become his passion. We have been members of the national council master thatchers association since the end of our apprenticeships and play an active roll within the association. Ian has been the secretary of The Oxon, Berks and Bucks association for over twelve years.
