After I completed my apprenticeship I worked for one of the most prominent Organ building companies of that time, known as Cooper Gill & Thomkins. I worked for them for a period of 8 years, and I worked for Southern Organ Builders for 3 years.
In 1997 I decided to go on my own, and subcontracted myself to the above 2 companies, while also building up my own client-base.
