At Eagle Eye, we have always been dedicated to precision, quality, and pushing the boundaries of what is possible in bespoke fabrication and design. We believe that the future of British manufacturing lies in a blend of traditional skill and modern technology, enabling truly custom work.

That’s why we are thrilled to announce that Eagle Eye has officially joined the Wycombe Furniture Forum (WFF) – a vital new initiative dedicated to reviving the craft and ensuring the growth of the historic Buckinghamshire design and fabrication sector. This is more than just a membership; it’s a commitment to collaborate, innovate, and contribute to the collective voice that is shaping the next generation of our industry.

🤝 More Than Just a Member: An Active Role in the WFF Team

This partnership runs deep. Beyond our company’s membership, as a Director of Eagle Eye, I am actively involved in the Wycombe Furniture Forum’s operations, attending committee meetings and contributing to the development of the organisation, including work on the WFF website.

This hands-on commitment ensures that our perspective on modern manufacturing, precision engineering, and technological innovation directly contributes to the WFF’s strategy, helping shape a thriving future for all members of the local design and fabrication trade.

📈 A Future Forged in Collaboration: What the WFF Means for High Wycombe

The Wycombe Furniture Forum is more than a trade group; it is a vital engine for the future of our town. High Wycombe’s identity is inextricably linked to its heritage as a hub of design and making, and the WFF is working tirelessly to ensure this legacy continues.

By fostering collaboration, sharing knowledge on everything from sustainability to advanced manufacturing, and providing a collective voice, the WFF directly contributes to:

  • Securing Local Jobs: By promoting growth and innovation among manufacturers and bespoke component providers.
  • Preserving a Historic Craft: By bridging the gap between traditional skills and modern technology.
  • Attracting Talent: By raising the profile of the Wycombe design and fabrication sector as a global leader in quality and design.
  • Driving Sector Innovation: The WFF creates an essential platform for members to discuss the adoption of new technologies and precision processes, ensuring High Wycombe remains at the cutting edge of global manufacturing.
  • Strengthening Local Partnerships: Our active involvement helps facilitate crucial networking and dialogue that encourages local businesses to work together, supporting a resilient, collaborative supply chain right here in Buckinghamshire.
  • Boosting Member Visibility: The WFF actively promotes its members through a publicly accessible online Member Directory, ensuring businesses like Eagle Eye are easily found by customers and partners looking for quality, local fabrication services.

Our active involvement ensures that the perspective of precision fabrication is at the heart of this crucial work, helping to build a more productive and dynamic future for our entire community.

🎓 Investing in Tomorrow: Training, Education, and Apprenticeships

The long-term success of the High Wycombe design and fabrication trade depends on a continuous supply of skilled talent. The WFF understands this deeply, and a major part of its mission is to build strong, effective links between industry and education.

Key elements of their work in this area include:

  • Influencing Local Curricula: WFF actively works with educational providers like Buckinghamshire New University (BNU) and the Rycotewood Furniture Centre to ensure that design and product programmes are relevant to current industry needs, covering everything from traditional craft and prototyping to CAD and sustainability.
  • Nurturing the Next Generation: The Forum supports recruitment for apprenticeships and graduate roles, offering businesses access to fresh talent and ensuring young people see a clear, attractive career pathway in the local sector.
  • Upskilling Existing Teams: The WFF provides access to information on courses and Continuing Professional Development (CPD) offered by partners, helping current employees refresh skills in areas such as advanced joinery, machinery safety, or new technologies.

This focus ensures that skills are not just preserved, but actively enhanced, helping to create a “future-ready” workforce for the entire community.
