I began my career in 1976 as an apprentice cabinet maker at Restall Brown and Clennell Limited, later becoming their London factory manager. I have also worked as production manager for Nodus Furniture and factory manager at Magpie Furniture, both in Hampshire. I decided to run my own furniture business in 1988. Initially based in East London, I moved to my own premises in Crayford, Kent in 2006. I have worked on a large variety of projects, including benches for the Eden Project and the centre table for Big Brother. My work is on luxury cruise ships, in major London hotels and the houses of numerous wealthy clients. However, I still strive to maintain high standards and affordability for all clients, even those with a limited budget.
