I retired in 2016 after working for 30 years in the Oil and Gas Industry, the last 20 of which I lived near Aberdeen
Once I had retired we moved back down to my home county of Yorkshire and I now live near Huddersfield.
In March 2023 I became a Registered Professional Turner, I'm also an AWGB Approved Tutor, a member of the Heritage Craft Association and an active member of the Huddersfield and District Woodturners.

Turning is therapeutic for me, I can go to my workshop, concentrate on my turning and shut everything else out which is a great benefit from a mental health perspective.
I enjoy developing my skills and in particular looking at new and different things to make.
