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.

  Just over 20 years ago, I made the decision to start Alban Interiors with the aim to create beautiful pieces of handcrafted furniture. It’s been a long journey over the last twenty years but now, with the help of my trusted son Daniel and young Tom, I feel we have one of the best teams this craft has to offer. Our relatively small set-up is no reflection on the size of jobs we have undertaken. We’ve worked in mansions and cottages alike and our excellent reputation is based on knowledge, experience, attention to detail and a fine sense of the aesthetic.
