My background: I started working as a trainee metalworker in Forest Hill SE26 with Wilkinson PLC way back in 1985,within a couple of years I had gained the title of workshop manager, in 1997 I set up my own workshop working for designers in the Kings Road of Chelsea where we mainly worked on restoring chandeliers/light fittings and upcycling architectural salvage....skip forward all the way to 20yrs later and i have relocated both my home and business to a small village in Southend on sea ..the demand for restoration has dropped off over the years so I now manufacture new lights for myself and mainly for Hector Finch Lighting
