Born in and on Preston Guild (1972), I had a privileged up bringing, albeit moving around the country (Southport, Harpenden and finally Guiseley in Leeds) as my father moved up the corporate banking ladder.

I have played football since I could walk and having come from a footballing family I was lucky enough to be blessed with some talent, although I probably did not fulfil my potential, so my dad says!
 
I passed my GCSE's and A-levels just, and after graduating from Manchester Metropolitan University and just falling shy of being a professional footballer at Crewe Alexander AFC, I dipped in and out of the job market working for several entrepreneurs and picking up some very useful business ideas, some good and some not so good!

I eventually settled down to work in the packaging industry in 1995 and started ITS Ltd on my own in 1998, closely followed by Fantastak Ltd (1999) and Fantastak Retail Ltd (2002)

The rest they say is history as the businesses move from strength to strength based on our ever present philosophy of always making sure the customer has  a 1st class experience in everything we do from the products to the services we provide...

I have travelled the world working on adhesive problem solving and coming up with solutions. I have worked with and supplied some of the largest and most prestigious company's and feel that my 25+ years of experience are just a platform to grow and develop our business Fantastak into a world player offering innovative adhesives.
 
Employed and trained by Henkel Chemicals in Germany I learnt everything I needed to know about the design, manufacture and advantages of specialist engineering adhesives over traditional fixing solutions. Whilst at Henkel I worked with several large OEM’s around the world such as Siemens, Ford, British Aerospace, Bentley and Rolls Royce to name a few. Working on several diverse applications for adhesives such as using cyanoacrylate technology for bonding body tissues, this is now common place.
 
After working for Henkel for 5 years I formed The Impact Adhesives company, based in Bradford. Initially involved with the distribution of specialist adhesives but by 1993 I had developed a range of anaerobic adhesives along with other specialist adhesives and began production. These adhesives were widely accepted into manufacturing sites all around the UK and Europe. The brands grew as did the business with necessary expansion and other sites being opened around the UK.
 
In 1999 I formed Fantastak with Richard Turner and Mark Auty, initially a small outfit based within Impact Adhesives. In 2002 I sold Impact Adhesives to a major French company, Orapi. Fantastak was not part of the deal with Orapi as we felt that it had great prospects, this has since been proven as Fantastak and Fantastak Retail have blazed trials across the world. We are world renowned for our innovation, quality and service and now supply over 44 countries worldwide with distribution across Europe, Asia, Africa and the America's. Our products can be found on the high streets of Tokyo, Sydney, Johannesburg, Seoul, Paris and London, we even supply products to China and not many company's can say that. We are now seen as one of the leading company's worldwide in our market and this is what drives me to develop new and innovative products and ideas... Watch this space.
