I started as a full time apprentice in 1985 with Wilwood Products in Brighton. When this company closed down in 1992. I started up on my own and have been running my own bespoke basket business ever since. I am one of the only basket makers I know that have trained in the traditional way. An apprenticeship then moving on to peace work. You have to get fast enough to get off of the apprenticeship.
