Work and Experience

With over 40 years of hands-on experience in the trade, I’ve built my career around precision, dedication, and a genuine love for craftsmanship. Over the decades, I’ve had the opportunity to work on everything from bespoke joinery to large-scale renovations, always striving to blend technical skill with a sense of artistry.

For the past eight years, I’ve been proud to be part of the Dan Cook Carpentry team. The high standards, teamwork, and shared commitment to great workmanship make it a pleasure to bring my experience to each project. I take particular pride in the details and ensuring that every element is completed to a standard that not only meets but exceeds client expectations.

Being part of Dan Cook Carpentry Ltd means being surrounded by people who take pride in what they do, and it’s a privilege to contribute my experience to such a dedicated team.

Favourite project

Across 40 years, I’ve worked on countless projects, each with its own challenges and rewards. What I enjoy most is the opportunity to deliver beautifully crafted work that transforms a space and stands the test of time, whether it’s a bespoke feature, a detailed restoration, or part of a larger renovation.

Getting to know you

Outside of carpentry, I enjoy riding my motorcycle across Europe, following Formula 1, cheering on Torquay United, and spending time with my family. These hobbies give me the same sense of energy and fulfilment that I bring to my work.
