Little did I know that the dens I made from old doors that I found at the top of my aunts Sally's garden, to making bird and milk boxes to sell at nine years old, would lead to me to here today. After securing a place on a carpentry & joinery course, I left college with my city & guilds in advanced craft and during the four years of training I was lucky to have been trained by a very talented joiner, Billy Hurcombe, to who I owe a lot!
By the age of 20 I took my first managers job that required me to head a team of five, it was a hands on role at a bespoke joinery company making windows, I was the only joiner. Over the years, we grew this to a team of 30, making products from small one off windows to specialised joinery for old fashioned grade one listed buildings, where quality had to be second nature and of the highest standard.
