I was a founding partner of Somerset based Stuart Interiors, leaders in oak reproduction woodwork and interior design in 16th & 17th century styles. We made high quality oak facsimiles of furniture and architectural joinery

My first practical role was as a woodcarver and maker - see examples of my work below.
I was one of 5 partners employing 15-25 people as we grew.
Between 1976 & 1988 I was involved in all aspects of the business at different times : Design, making, carving, publicity and photography, marketing, personnel management, admin. and finance.

1983,'84 & '88: Undertook short term assignments working with the wood carving
industry in North India as a consultant designer developing a range of new products for their export markets. See examples below
Employer: United Nations, International Trade Centre, Geneva.

1989-98: Became self-employed wood carver, furniture restorer and maker, whilst exploring and beginning counselling training.
1989: part-time teacher at Yeovil College: Wood carving and sculpture, adult classes.
