Assessor & Tutor (Managing Partner)

After completing my 6-year apprenticeship in Advanced Carpentry & Joinery, I began my successful journey as a master carpenter and joiner. I swiftly found a passion in the world of locksmithing and applied my in-depth methodology to gain me the necessary skills and understanding in the ancient world of locksmithing. I started my first locksmith company back in 1990, after I went on my first locksmith-training course.

After many successful years of conducting site and bench locksmith work in major high profile areas like Banks, Prisons and Supermarkets, I opened up my first locksmith shop in 1997. I focused my efforts back towards my educational and teaching background and began my very own locksmith training courses under Advanced Locksmiths originally back in 2000, as I was frustrated that locksmiths were not being trained properly to help them prosper in the industry.

It proved to be very successful and in 2009, I moved all training over to Train Locksmiths Ltd and to date we have taught over 800 students from 23 separate countries making us one of the most respected locksmith training providers in the UK.
