I started my working life as a bricklayer apprentice in the 1960's and worked my way up to running my own building business. Unfortunately a serious accident meant I was unable to continue in the building trade.
With time on my hands and a reduced income I began to make wooden toys for my grandchildrens' birthdays and Christmas presents. Before I knew it friends were asking me if I could make their children varying toys - and so my little business has grown.

I am now a member of the British Toy Makers Guild, The East Sussex Guild of Craft Workers and the Sussex Woodcraft Society.

I will be exhibiting and selling my work at the annual Toy Makers Guild show at the Oxo Tower on the South Bank in London from the 13th November - 3rd December 2006.
