Following a serious road accident in 1991 making it impossible to continue working in the car industry I decided to study Art and design.  At college I studied art at A level which led to a general art and design course. I then moved to a foundation craft and design course and subsequently achieved accreditation into Manchester University where I gained a 2:1 bachelor of Arts Degree in three dimensional design, specialising in jewellery design.

Following graduation my work was exhibited both in Manchester and London and was received with interest.

I have now progressed into the design and manufacture of knives for special occasions and recently won the hobbyist makers competition at the Exeter Knife Show.

I now make a variety of knives for clients covering a wide spectrum.  These include carving, butter and steak knives for the kitchen and table.  Wedding cake knives and presentation christening knives.  For the office and home letter opening knives.
