Gareth Gwatkin is a qualified Cabinet Maker based in his home village of Evenjobb on the Powys/Herefordshire border. Born and raised in the unspoilt Radnorshire countryside, where life runs at a slower pace and things get done properly, he acquired an interest in traditional architecture and antique furniture and the craft skills involved in their construction and maintenance.

Gareth trained formally at Hereford College where he gained City and Guilds certificates in Cabinet Making.

His is natural ability to make and restore furniture developed into a career. Working with local Craftsmen for 10 years he developed the skills of turning, carving, veneering and finishing. A few years ago he set up in his own workshop and his business has grown from strength to strength. His furniture is now at locations nationwide.
