I went to secondary school in Llandudno and like most pupils I didn’t have a clear view of what I wanted to do. I started out in advertising and publicity in a job my father arranged for me because I was good at Art. Then I changed jobs twice and was employed by a friend’s uncle in interior decoration and I learned the trade from him.

I decided to set up my own Interiors business and have been trading in North Wales for over 30 years. We’re based in Craig-y-Don, Llandudno and offer a wide range of goods and services. We primarily sell quality fitted kitchens which I design and supply to clients. We also sell fitted bedroom furniture, lighting, flooring, soft furnishings & wallpaper. I was the interior design consultant contractor for Lloyd Homes in North Wales and completing that contract I decided that instead of working from an office it would be better to have a showroom. I opened the showroom in 2001 and it’s just been an organic progression adapting to client requirements.
