Adam & Katie Reynolds
We moved to Sheffield in 2003. We, like so many people, were captured by the unique nature and warmth of the city and its people and now proudly live and work in Sheffield, whilst raising our three sons.
Established in 2011 by ex-sculptor, Adam Reynolds, DGO is now a family run business with Katie, Adam’s wife, joining the team in 2022, bringing with her a wealth of experience after serving the community as a teacher and deputy head for 28 years.
Adam’s previous career, as a designer and maker of large public artworks, gave him a depth of experience in creative problem solving, use of different materials, understanding spaces, aesthetics and attention to detail. When Adam moved away from the artworld and into structural design, he developed his now ubiquitous, DGO style of building. With his knowledge of the technical elements of the build Adam recognised his design offered adaptability and lent itself to bespoke builds. He went on to launch DGO, directing and growing the company and developing the design further, now such a long way on from the prototype in the garden all those years ago.
Katie has a vast experience of recognising people’s needs. Always with a smile, Katie enjoys communicating with clients and stakeholders. She is a skilled planner, organiser, and manager, placing importance on listening to and supporting her teams to enable them to consistently offer a high quality service to our clients. Katie’s passion for development and training still flows strongly and means the company is constantly strengthening it’s staff.
Adam and Katie’s skills and qualities work hand in hand to offer a wonderful service throughout.
We place a great importance on supporting local companies and communities. We are very conscious to use local suppliers wherever possible. As avid supporters of our local rugby club, we enjoy working on the committee and sponsoring junior teams and senior players at the mighty Sheffield Tigers RUFC.
Our Team
We pride ourselves on our team. Whilst for the most part we are outside your house, we never forget that we are working in your home. It is vital to us that you are comfortable throughout your build.
Hardworking, diligent, skilled and tidy – we receive frequent praise for our guys as they work on our clients’ sites.
Just to say how impressed I am with Dore Garden Offices. It was a pleasure to have such a professional, trustworthy and friendly team working here. In short, I wanted a quality outdoor building from well established local specialists – and I got it. I highly recommend DGO to anyone looking for a quality garden room, office or studio.
