A Sydney Cabinet Maker You Can Trust

Daniel Brennan

Founder & Master Cabinet Maker

Daniel Brennan grew up around tools and timber — his father ran a small joinery shop in Sydney’s inner west, and Daniel spent his school holidays sweeping the workshop floor and learning how a cabinet actually goes together. He completed his Certificate III in Cabinet Making as an apprentice and spent the next decade working across high-end residential kitchens and commercial shopfitting, learning both the craft of fine joinery and the discipline of building to a program and a budget. By the time he was thirty he had run projects for some of Sydney’s busiest fit-out firms, and he had formed a clear view about what was missing in the trade: too many companies sold a kitchen, sub-contracted the build, and were nowhere to be found when something needed adjusting.

He founded Brennan Cabinetry in 2009 with a simple principle — one accountable team should design, build and install every job, so the person who measures your kitchen is part of the same business that makes it and stands behind it. From a modest unit in Marrickville, the business has grown into a fully-equipped workshop serving homeowners, builders and businesses right across Sydney, but the principle has not changed. Daniel still reviews every design and still believes the best advertisement is a kitchen that closes quietly and looks as good in ten years as it did on day one. When he is not in the workshop, he is usually restoring an old timber boat that, by his own admission, will never quite be finished.
