About Us
Unmatched Skill
McGhee & Co. is led by Master Thatcher Colin McGhee. At the age of 25, he became the youngest thatcher in the United Kingdom to win the Master Thatcher’s Cup, achieving a prestigious title that requires years of schooling, apprenticeship, and dedicated craftsmanship. Since moving his award-winning business to America in 1991, he and his team have been in great demand, traveling across the country to thatch everything from private residences to buildings at zoos, museums, theme parks, and movie sets.
Colin and his crew of highly skilled artisan thatchers craft each roof by hand using only the finest water reed. Work is deeply personal and is overseen directly by McGhee and his permanent team–comprised of his son, Duncan McGhee, and his assistant of over twenty years, Matthew Spittle.
