Working at Renatus

Renatus is a small, specialist manufacturing company based in Bideford, originally established in 2001 to provide services to pipe and electronic church organ builders. As our company has grown so has our reputation and we now work with designers and clients from other areas of business, such as museums and visitor centres.

We aim to provide our services based on the same values that have secured our reputation in the organ building business; to offer a combination of traditional skills and service, along with innovative ideas and techniques. We use modern CAD and manufacturing technology to improve the design, planning, production and finish of the work we undertake.

Our workshop is equipped with both traditional machinery and modern CNC machines, including CNC routing, laser cutting, engraving and turning. Our electronics and assembly workshops include PCB design and low volume board assembly, wiring, fitting out and testing of systems. Our control systems are installed in church organs throughout the UK and abroad.

We are a small, friendly, tight-knit, and very 'hands-on' team; the current average length of service of our 10 employees is 19 years so we're generally in it for the long-haul. We enjoy what we do (at least most of the time) and take pride in creating things that others will get pleasure from for many years. All our work is bespoke, much of it being designed and engineered in-house. It's rare to spend any two days doing the same thing and we relish coming up against new challenges and learning new skills.
