My passion for guns and hunting started at a very young age due to growing up in the countryside. I could barely hold a twelve bore but I was already shooting it.

 

A natural progression for me was to go to the Liege gunmaking shool where I graduated in 1996 as a qualified actioner and stockmaker.

 

I just finished my education and I started to work for John Rigby & Co where Mr. Paul Roberts had kindly offered me a position as a stockmaker after having done my practical training there. I remained with them for two years before moving onto Holland & Holland where I learnt the finer details of actioning and the proper dimensional geometry of stockmaking .

 

In the year 2000 I decided to set up on my own offering my services as a stockmaker to the gun trade in the UK which I still do to this day.

I have amassed 15 years of experience of working on all types of sporting guns and rifles.
