Paul’s love of metal as a medium to work with has been with him throughout his life and career. It started initially at school during metalwork studies where his interest in different forms, materials, shapes and ideas attracted his attention. This interest stayed with him through his college training years before graduating to become a fully qualified engineering fabricator, something he has now been involved with for a number of years.
