About

The sign industry has been part of my life from a very early age. As a child, I spent weekends and holidays helping my father, learning from him at the factory, as well as out on site, and it really became part of my DNA. For as long as I can remember, we've always had a glass shop at the company and I developed a love for neon which I still have today!
I started out my career with the intention of working in I.T., gaining a degree in Computer Science at Plymouth University. After this, I worked alongside my father, setting up the computer systems and website at A1 Designs. This was actually a springboard for me becoming more involved and, over the following years, I went on to work in a variety of capacities in the business, learning as I went and developing an overall understanding of the many facets of the industry. Today I run A1Designs, still with the same love for neon that I had as a child and a passion for the industry itself.

I have been working at A1deSIGNS since January 2016. Learning the ins and outs of Estimating and the Signage industry has been one of the most exciting challenges since graduating from university. I have found that a strong attention to detail, good time management and organisation have helped me most within the role. The same skills have also massively help in my biggest non work challenge, being a dad to a little boy, dog and cat.
