Look for Timberkits Ltd on AmazonFull story →Sarah Reast and Phil Wilson pitched Timberkits, wooden self-assembly mechanisms cut by laser, wanting £25,000 for 30 percent of the firm, and secured Touker Suleyman as an investor.
The Llanbrynmair manufacturer is still cutting, assembling and posting out kits today.
Slow By Design
Every model, whether a dragon, a bird or an animal figure, runs off a hand-turned crank rather than a battery, and the firm reportedly spends around a year refining each new design before it reaches production. That unhurried pace has built a small but loyal following among modellers rather than chasing a mass audience.
Suleyman's background in manufacturing and retail lined up with a founder selling a physical, well-engineered product with a defined build process, and the terms Reast and Wilson had asked for held.
A Licence, Reviews, And Continuity
The company later picked up official licensing tied to Aardman's Shaun the Sheep, folding a recognisable character into a catalogue that had previously stuck to animals and dragons, a real reach extension for a small Welsh maker. Reast has stayed on as company director in the years since.
Feedback on Trustpilot as recent as April 2025 praises both the finish and the customer service, and the firm continues to post kits across the UK and abroad through its own site rather than Amazon.
The Case For Buying Today
A deliberate build process, a devoted customer base and a licensed line on top of the core range give this company a firmer footing than a business built on a single novelty item. More than ten years after the pitch, it is still turning out the same style of craft kit it walked into the Den with.
If you want one, order through the maker's own site; there is nothing to suggest it sells anywhere else.
