Paul Charman

From an early age I have been fascinated with all things metal...  

Working with metal, started with my late Uncle teaching me to weld & braze when I was 13 & from then on my career in Metalwork had begun.  

My first proper job was at 14, when I started part time Saturday building of a narrowboat with my now late Uncle.   

At 17 I started working fulltime with a 4-year apprenticeship & gained numerous academic qualifications over this time.   

The next stage in my career saw a move into prototype engineering & toolmaking; this took me down the path of precision mould making & automotive tooling.   

These days I can do most jobs but it’s never too late to learn something new & I am never too proud to take advice & learn new things.   

Prototype & one-off manufacture has always been my strength with an ability to solve issues & overcome pretty much any problem along the way & if it’s metal, I can make pretty much anything.
