Manolis studied architecture before training as a carpenter, where he developed a strong passion for timber and sustainability. His dedication to construction and the environment, combined with his interest in ecological building systems, led him to establish Woodisland in the late 1990s—Greece’s first ecological builders’ merchant. As a specialist in both traditional and engineered timber, he was among the first in Greece to import high-quality timber and introduce Scandinavian wood aesthetics to the local market. Woodisland continues to operate successfully today, reflecting his long-standing commitment to sustainable construction.

In 2019, Manolis expanded his expertise to the UK, integrating the construction division into the company and co-founding JMP Contractors & Engineers.
