Business Details
Premium Garden & Home Furniture Specialists
Jo Alexander was founded in the late 1990s by Jolyon and Lowri Allpress, who identified a gap in the UK market for high-quality reclaimed teak garden furniture. Starting with a single container shipment from Indonesia, the business grew through village hall exhibitions before transitioning to an online presence in 2016. With over two decades of experience, we specialise in sourcing and crafting premium garden and home furniture from durable materials like A-grade teak, polished concrete, and wicker. Our commitment to quality craftsmanship, sustainability, and customer satisfaction has established us as experts in outdoor living solutions. We offer exclusive designs, a three-year guarantee on all products, and a personal service that prioritises client needs.Our extensive range caters to both residential and commercial spaces, combining timeless elegance with modern functionality. Through annual sourcing trips to Indonesia, we maintain strong relationships with suppliers to ensure ethical production practices. The business remains family-run, blending traditional techniques with contemporary design trends. Our showroom in Cambridge provides hands-on experience of our collections, supported by nationwide delivery. Today, Jo Alexander continues to innovate while maintaining the core values that defined its founding: creating beautiful, long-lasting furniture that transforms outdoor spaces.

Questions
What materials do you use for outdoor furniture?
We use A-grade teak from certified plantations, polished concrete, and synthetic wicker for our outdoor furniture. These materials provide natural durability against weather conditions while maintaining aesthetic appeal.
How should I care for teak furniture?
Clean with mild detergent and a soft brush. Avoid pressure washing to preserve joints. Natural teak will develop a silver-grey patina over time, or you can use teak protector to maintain original colour.
Do you offer delivery services?
We provide nationwide delivery across the UK. Delivery times vary seasonally, with most orders dispatched within 2-4 weeks. Larger items receive specialist white-glove delivery treatment.
Can I visit a showroom?
Yes, our Cambridge Display Barn showcases full collections. The showroom is open weekdays, with extended hours during peak seasons. Appointments are recommended for detailed consultations.
What guarantees do you offer?
All products come with our exclusive three-year guarantee covering manufacturing defects and material durability. This applies to both indoor and outdoor furniture purchased through official channels.
How do I clean concrete garden furniture?
Use pH-neutral cleaner and warm water for concrete surfaces. Avoid abrasive materials that could damage the sealant. Wipe spills immediately to prevent staining on polished concrete pieces.
