We met at art school many moons ago when we were both studying graphic design in the 80s. We left college and skipped off up to London to register our design business. We built a busy design agency and wore power suits and shoulder pads!

We got married and had two great kids. One day we installed a new fitted kitchen with an integral fridge and suddenly had a problem. Where do we put the kids’ artwork, invitations and school letters etc?

We had a brainwave and painted a huge sheet of steel that we used as a giant magnetic board. Everyone said it was a brilliant idea and where did you get it?

2007. So, back in 2007 we took the plunge and set to work devising a unique way of making them with our own designs. Just like the old enamel metal ad signs we loved so much and Beyond the Fridge was born.

Why Beyond the Fridge? We get asked that quite a lot! Apart from describing our solution to the problem people have with integrated fridge doors, we thought it was a memorable pun on ‘Beyond the Fringe’ (you have to be of a certain age!).

Over the years we’ve developed products that reflect our joint love of art and design. We always enjoy designing new magnetic boards ourselves and seeing the amazing designs and images our customers create for their own homes.
