Grekwood was the name of a roleplay game character created by my brother Gareth K Sutherwood in 1999. His full name was "Grekwood Thegar" and was a semi anagram of Gareth's full name.

A few years later, Gareth started using the name "Grekwood" as an online alias with his own personality traits such as a strange obsession with bananas! Grekwood grew to be loved by many he met, whether online or in person. Gareth later went on to create his own universe known as "Grekworld", where he had his own special ops teams and so forth!

On Formspring in early 2010, Gareth was asked about his name and after explain it, he said "So where next for the Grekwood name? who knows but it's evolving and becoming a semi-brand and a trademark extension of me.

In July 2011, my brother Gareth very sadly passed away. He will always be missed and loved by everyone who knew him.

Grekwood Miniatures (or at least before it became Grekwood Miniatures) was a hobby which was taken to the next level in April 2012. We aim to offer our own unique miniatures and accessories, along with numerous items from other companies to compliment them to help make your miniatures look as great as they possibly can be.

As "Grekwood" played a large part of my brother's life, the best way to honour his memory is to keep his name going. Therefore by creating "Grekwood Miniatures", the name Grekwood will continue to be known throughout this great hobby.
