Where it began

Although working with wood has been a lifelong passion, my career officially began in 2000 at the IBTC in Lowestoft where I trained as a boat-builder. This followed 7 years of working in different boat yards in Holland refining my skills, before setting up my own business restoring classic wooden boats.

 

A move to London

In 2008 I moved to London were I worked for small furniture design companies making and fitting high-end kitchens, wardrobes and storage solutions. Once I’d found my feet in the UK, I felt I was ready to once again launch my own business, focusing on (but not isolated to) fitting Dutch barges on the Thames.

​

​Current focus

Over time my repertoire has grown from boats and barges to include house interiors and freestanding bespoke furniture. I am flexible - working alone or in combination with architects, depending on job and client requirements. I work on both small and large-scale spaces – the challenge of moving between environments keeps me inspired.

 

Materials and workmanship

Although real wood is always my first choice I understand that both cost and environment mean they’re not always viable… sometimes MDF and chipboard have a place! Regardless of materials used, my work is always of the very highest standard and I leave no stone unturned to deliver top-class quality and finishing.
