About Us

Housenumbers Limited is a family run e-commerce business based in Dorset.

The company was established in 2005 by Katherine & Charles Ellis, after their family failed to find a house number they loved for a new house extension. Our circular number, which now forms part of our logo, was admired by friends and neighbours to such an extent that the business just took off from word of mouth recommendations. It is now run day to day by daughter Josie and workshop manager Rian, with Katherine and Charles still on board, plus their small and dedicated team.

Managing Director Josie keeps the place running day to day, looks after our corporate customers, finances, website & marketing.

Director & founder Charles designs all of our products, & is our CAD & electronics expert. 

Director & founder Katherine assists during busy periods and helps with accounting.

Rian joined the team in 2023 as an assistant, and was soon promoted to be our workshop manager. Rian organises our workshop schedule and the manufacture of our bespoke signs, plus works on the technical design of new products with Charles.

Becky is our workshop assistant, and helps with the manufacture of our products. She can also found in our order packing & dispatch room, assisting with shipping orders. 

Sarah is our packing and dispatch assistant, and newest team member, who makes sure that each order is perfectly packaged and meets our high quality control standards. 

Gary is our expert metal worker who hand finishes all our stainless steel orders.

And finally Margot the family dog, who is often on site to welcome our postman and couriers!

We believe in supporting British jobs and manufacturing, which is why all our products are designed and hand finished in-house, after being laser cut here in the UK! We also believe in offering outstanding customer care and every order is important to us, from each online retail order to large scale corporate orders for new-build estates, and every beautiful bespoke sign in between; we will make sure you are delivered a high quality service and product. Twice a month we batch-produce bespoke signage to our customers' specific requirements, and we specialise in helping you create something truly unique for your home.
