Shields Buildings are specialists in what we do. Each member of our close knit team are passionate about their work, taking great pride and enjoyment in every element of the job. This ensures every customer receives the very best service and, ultimately, the timber garden building that they’ve always dreamed of.
There are three elements to our business – The Office, The Workshop and The Site Team – each one a vital cog in the well-oiled Shields Buildings machine.
Here at Shields Buildings it’s not just about the building. We want to make sure that every customer is properly looked after from initial enquiry, to design and construction, all the way through to our attentive follow up procedure.
The business was founded by John in 1991. His vision of creating the best timber buildings in the South West is at the heart of everything we do. Driving the business forward, his expertise is evident from customer service through to the quality of our products.
As our sales and marketing specialist, Jacqueline makes sure all of our marketing materials are compelling and informative. Jacqueline does all the hard work in keeping you up-to-date with our latest products and events, meaning it’s that little bit easier to get in touch!

Our ‘Jack of All Trades’ – but in this instance, a master of all as well. Vast experience in the building trade means Jerry is just as at home at a work bench as he is fitting slates on a roof. Not to mention, a dab hand with the paint brush!
They are the customer facing part of the business and, as many of our customers testify, are an excellent team who are a pleasure to have at their homes.
As Site Supervisor, nothing is too much trouble. Mike will stop at nothing to deliver the perfect finish on every build. He takes huge pleasure in his work exuding a contagious positivity – but be warned, this can sometimes lead to singing, so ear defenders are advised…
Delighting in the challenge of a steep garden, or an awkward load in, nothing fazes Jake. He will always work hard to get every job completed on schedule, all the while working with a youthful exuberance that lifts the entire team.
