Meet the team

Our team is made up of experienced builders who also hold zoological qualifications. With a broad range of expertise, we’re able to handle a variety of projects, from constructing specialized enclosures to designing environments that meet the needs of animals. Whether it's a simple build or a more complex zoological project, we have the skills to get it done right.

Ed Bostock-Howard

I founded Zoological Fabrications LTD after spending several years building and theming enclosures in-house while working within the zoo and animal collections sector.

Over time, I saw recurring issues in many existing enclosures, and it became clear that there was real room for improvement. Knowing I could create better housing—improving both animal husbandry and the overall look and feel of an exhibit—gave me a strong sense of purpose.

While enhancing the welfare of the animals directly in my care was rewarding, I wanted to have a wider impact. Starting this company allowed me to apply my skills across a range of collections, helping to improve the welfare of more animals and create enclosures that more closely replicate natural environments.

I also Hold a BSc in Animal Behaviour and welfare
