Hi Guys, I bought this with a G Plan Table, it's not marked & I can't find a GPlan example anywhere, does anyone know if it's made by G Plan, if not who?

I bought it with ....
The reason I thought G Plan was , I bought it with a G plan coffee table, G plan nest of tables & a G plan tea trolley, so figured they bought it all together. The rest were marked with the G plan lables...
This is quite well made with plywood at the front of the drawers & solid wood drawer sides...

McIntosh pieces
are usually marked with an plaque attached with 2 nails (if missing there should be 2 nail holes an inch or so apart)
have asymmetric handles, and legs with a flatter front profile, usually tapering outwards to the top.
The mix of woods, Afrormosia and teak, is typical of McIntosh, but also of many other British manufacturers of the time, including all those suggested above.

There's
some more information about Nathan in the G Plan Revolution, but nothing like your bureau.
It's the leg and stretcher form that makes me think it might be by Nathan.

Remploy perhaps?
I have a dropfront desk with almost identical cubbyholes and hardware. It was made by Remploy.

I think if it were
Remply, the legs and handles would have a square profile.
The plywood cubby holes and the hardware in pieces like this are pretty generic.
