Corrugated? Not sure what you mean by that - a photo would help, as Ladyessex above says, but perhaps you mean a leaf stem with lots of leaflets coming off it? If you do, it'll be a Sorbus of some variety.

Or a Rowan (mountain ash) which has berries in yellow, orange or red. And the leaves could be described as corrugated! Fern like shape to the leaves?

PS: Also white berries!

And rowan is just a common name for a particular Sorbus (S. aucuparia)

Big green leaves and berries... Fatsia Japonica or Castor Oil plant ?

Of course ... bamboo ... just rowan/mountain ash are more well-known names, but part of sorbus family, as you say ... though pimpernel may be right as to the corrugated big green leaves?! We need a photo or clearer description to confirm.

Hmm, interesting - I saw the word 'berries' and immediately decided they were red or orange, even though it doesn't say, funny how the mind works.
Yes, we need a lot more info or a photograph.

I am thinking corrugated means serrated though. The big Cotoneasters also sprang to mind....Photo's please.

Sorry about about the pathetic description i posted for the tree i am trying to identify. It is nice to find there are so many helpful people out there. I am going to send a photo soon. I am sure it will be obvious to you all. Many thanks.

Hi & Welcome to GOY. Is this a tree you have in your garden? If so a picture would help us to Identify :)
