Edward Brown Staircases - Designing and manufacturing beautiful timber staircases in Sydney Australia

Edward Brown Staircases began manufacturing in the late 1960s. The aim of the business was to produce top quality curved timber staircases for the larger homes that were being built after the post war boom in low cost housing started to decline.
Edwards father, George, was a building contractor with a small joinery works. In the post war housing boom he and the family developed a large prefabricated housing business.

Edward Brown was apprenticed to his father in 1939 and after the post war boom in housing eased they reverted to building contracting. When his father retired Edward continued building on his own.
In the late 1960s some of his clients asked him to incorporate more quality features in their houses such as geometrical staircases. This led to the establishment of Edward Brown Staircases Pty Ltd.

The company was initially set up in a small corrugated iron building in Rouse Hill in Sydney's north west.
Edwards wife Joan joined the business to look after the accounting and his two sons Michael and Jeffery also began working for the business.
Jeffery Brown joined the family business in 1976 and now manages the business.
In 1995 the company moved into a new 1800 sqm building in South Windsor.
