MANAGEMENT PROFILES
Allstar Joinery was founded in 2009 by Robert Hoey, who remains the company figurehead and Managing Director. Following a challenging introduction at a time of hard recession, the Company has grown gradually and moved premises in 2015 to its current location.
After a sustained period of investment and renovation in the new premises, the business has become synonymous with large interior fit out project work. The bespoke manufacturing arm has grown steadily and consistently, particularly in recent years.
The organisation remains true to its original core values of Passion, Integrity, Innovation & Excellence and the relentless journey to becoming a Best In Class interior fit out company continues.
Allstar Joinery prides itself on the skill and dedication of its workforce of craftsmen, tradesmen, machine operators & labourers and is supported by a vetted, verified and trusted supply chain. The company is further bolstered by a Management Team with more than 130 years’ experience between them.

Danny is a CAD Designer, with in-depth knowledge of bespoke joinery, given that he was an experienced joiner before taking the leap into the design world. His comprehensive knowledge of materials, buildability, detailing, site access restrictions implications as well as his understanding of setting up cutting sheets for CNC prove invaluable in his relationship with the workshop.
Danny is our senior designer in the construction drawing / CAD department at Allstar Joinery, also acting as our Design Manager, he is in regular communication with our contract department and bespoke manufacturing facility personnel. Danny will lead all aspects of technical design drawing production on projects.
Conceptual drawings from the client’s designer are interpreted and reproduced as working ‘manufacture’ drawings. These drawings are then approved by the client team and production can commence. Danny will also survey the site prior to design development, alongside our Contracts Manager.
Danny proactively ensures designs are accurately planned, coordinated and released for production complying with company and project standards, specifications and helping ensure the programme is managed and maintained.
