I founded UNIQ in 2014 having been made redundant from a twenty eight year, Design and Technology teaching career based in London, Gloucestershire and Worcestershire schools.
Starting the business turned a negative situation into a positive, new future!
Born in Swansea in South Wales, I served a tool-making apprenticeship on leaving school with Austin Rover (Pressed Steel Fisher), followed by qualifications in Mechanical and Production Engineering.
I then qualified as a teacher of Craft Design and Technology at Avery Hill College (Greenwich University) in South London.
The final ‘string to my bow’ being a Garden Design and Management qualification at Pershore College of Horticulture.
