A bit about me:
At the age of 16 my dad told me “get a trade son” which led me into the world of joinery. I qualified as a cabinetmaker, which is where I learnt precision and quality. From then I trained as a bench joiner also learning skills in workshop management.

 

Being a perfectionist I'm in control of the quality and products leaving the workshop. It's worth the hard work to hear great feedback from happy customers. I’m proud of what we produce.
