About



A Short History
I started my apprenticeship in 1971 at J.H.Sparshatt & Sons of Burrfields Road, Portsmouth, Hampshire, as a Coachpainter.
I also attended Portsmouth College of Art where I gained my City & Guilds certificate in Vehicle Refinishing.

Since then I have worked for a few different sign companies and transport companies working on Horse drawn carriages, veteran, vintage, classic and commercial vehicles.
I now work and live in the New Forest, Hampshire, England, UK. and have undertaken work for The National Motor Museum at Beaulieu, Sammy Miller Motorcycle Museum at New Milton, several private collectors and individual owners of a whole range of vehicles.
