After an exemplary nine year stint in the Royal Corps of Signals from the age of 16, I enrolled on an engineering course at the Southampton Institute and Salisbury College. During this transition period I found that my engineering and previous practical abilities were best suited to landscape gardening and building, which I employed myself to, in accordance to fund studies. Subsequently I spent 2-3 years working with a landscaping firm and a major building company. At the age of 30, thanks to the experience gleaned from previous employers, I decided to take the plunge and set up my own business. I knew that with my knowledge and quality craftsmanship I couldn't but succeed. To date, with the added membership of 'The Guild of Master Craftsmen', purveyors of quality and service, my success has been achieved.
