Manx TurnEd is a small family woodturning business based on the Isle of Man and run by Manx husband and wife team of Ed and Cathy Radcliffe. Ed is key to this cottage industry, as the woodturner, and Cathy is chief pyrographer, also managing the website and marketing. Both Ed & Cathy revel in the direct sales aspect of their business as this affords them great opportunities to bring their wood to life through conversations with the public, recounting the wonderful stories about the wood they present.
Manx TurnEd aim to assist in protecting our natural resources and reducing waste through using Manx wood to produce beautiful heirlooms that both protect the wood, 'catalogue' its type and preserve it for future generations. Manx TurnEd do not use single use plastic in their packaging, they utilise recyclable paper packaging wherever possible.
Manx TurnEd also aim to grow their business in a way that respects our environment, community and heritage. They show this through aspects such as placing a 'Three Legs of Man' emblem on the reverse of each woodturned product. This serves to add to the cultural and historical value of the artwork, and firmly places it as Manx!
Adding to this, Manx TurnEd strongly support our cultural heritage, through active engagement in many local events, such as the Isle of Man Farmers' Markets and regularly attend the weekly Ramsey event on Saturdays at Ramsey Courthouse. They also attend a number of other special events throughout the year that support Manx community, culture and heritage, for example: Port Erin Beach Festival, Tynwald Day Festivities, and Artisan markets during the year.
