With 47 years in the Antiques Trade and a five year apprenticeship with a internationally recognised auction house this formed the foundation for my china restoration career, culminating in my specialisation in the field of china restoration. I have studied this wonderfully detailed profession under the experienced eye of a leading internationally recognised tutor, absorbing knowledge in the techniques of working with fine and delicate objects. I eventually opened an independent studio, commencing the birth of a business with strong foundations, which has rapidly grown beyond all expectation during the last two decades.    I travel extensively and network within the china restoration, attending conferences to stay abreast of the latest developments.
