My career started with an apprenticeship with Fredrick Donnelly in London. With my passion for craftsmanship realised, at the age of sixteen I enrolled at the Hammersmith College of Art and Building. By the end of my first year I was nominated their best student and went on to win a top award from the London Apprentice Board.

  Some 29 years ago I made the decision to start Alban Interiors with the aim to create beautiful pieces of hand crafted Furniture. It has been a long journey but now with my eldest son Daniel working along side me I feel we have one of the most talented teams this craft has to offer.

  Our relatively small set-up is no reflection on the size of commissions we have undertaken. (We have recently made a Victorian style Dining Table in English Brown Oak that extends from 7`0” to 14`0”x 4`0” wide using traditional methods in the construction ).

  We have worked in large Houses and Cottages alike and our excellent reputation is based on Knowledge, Experience, Attention to Detail and a fine sense of the Aesthetic.
