Our ambition to consistently deliver a world class customer journey means making exceptional the norm at Neptune. Behind the scenes we need our IT department to be fully engaged with the rest of the organisation and continue to offer the right tools and technology to people across all business functions to enable them to deliver on the considerable ambitions that Neptune has.

Our Story
Founded in 1996 by friends John Sims-Hilditch and Giles Redman, Neptune design and make pieces for the whole home. Recognised for our exacting standards, design-led aesthetic and expert craftsmanship, we're perhaps most known for kitchens - with heirloom-worthy dressers not far behind. Neptune's trademark 'look' is British: refined, simple, sturdy, and with an almost obsessive attention to detail. We're also respected for our commitment to craft and quality. Put simply, we make things we're proud of, and that are designed to last a lifetime.
