I founded UNIQ in 2014 having been made redundant from a twenty eight year, Design and Technology teaching career based in London, Gloucestershire and Worcestershire schools. Starting the business turned a negative situation into a positive, new future! Born in Swansea in South Wales, I served a tool-making apprenticeship on leaving school with Austin Rover (Pressed Steel Fisher), followed by qualifications in Mechanical and Production Engineering. I then qualified as a teacher of Craft Design and Technology at Avery Hill College (Greenwich University) in South London. The final ‘string to my bow’ being a Garden Design and Management qualification at Pershore College of Horticulture.
Established in 2014, UNIQ has grown to be one of the UK’s leading Upcycling brands known for its high quality furniture and unique, bespoke products. All of my projects are designed using reclaimed and salvaged donor furniture and materials. Sustainability, re-use and recycling are at the heart of what I do!
