Alastair Graham

Alastair’s furniture career started in the workshop at the Monastery in the English countryside where he was a Novice Monk. His enthusiasm was such that the Novice Master banned him from the Prayer Stool making he was doing in the Monastery workshop. His true calling was not to be denied and after leaving the Monastery he got a place at Parnham College to study Furniture Design and Cabinet Making under John Makepeace. From there he set up his workshop making work of the highest quality- indeed Madonna was his workshop’s very first client. Many illustrious commissions followed for an increasingly International client base, including Palaces, Super Yachts and Royal Residences on 3 continents. 10 Years ago he moved with his family from the UK to the USA to immerse himself fully in the Hospitality Furniture Industry and founded Montrose Hospitality in partnership with both Asian and European manufacturers. Montrose Hospitality is an international specialist in custom luxury hospitality furniture and has completed projects in America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia.
