About Me

Woodworking was an amateur passion of mine for many years. My love and understanding of wood must have been passed down from my father, who was a mechanical fitter by trade but would turn his hand to most things – he loved to restore antiques and experiment on his home-made lathe.

I started making furniture for friends and family in 1987 and by 1990 I decided to leave the security of a career at Rolls Royce in Derby to become a professional furniture maker. Working alone has allowed me to be flexible with design and maintain the quality of my work and I have resolutely avoided fitted furniture to focus on stand alone pieces.
