A little about myself .........
From Hook Norton in Oxfordshire, I spent most of my youth playing football, helping my dad with his renovating and my mum with her cooking business. This is where I formed my love of renovating and cooking.
I left home for Bournemouth University where I studied industrial design, including a year working for Ford in Charleville Mezieres, France. From there I went to work for a leading design consultancy in London, working on many leading brands , creating working and visual prototypes.
After 8 years in London it was time for a change, I moved to Exeter and converted 2 houses into four flats, which featured in Homes Under The Hammer. Wanting a bigger adventure I decided to live in France. The very first time I saw Valon, in Central Southern France, I knew it was a special place and fell in love with the village, the view and the my vision of what the ruins I bought could become.
For years my passion and my money was poured into my renovation project in Valon until I had established a business letting three of the properties as holiday accommodation and won a renovation award.

After finishing my own project I then had people knocking at my door to help them with theirs and this is where fox
Renovations was born. I started with some small projects, transforming small spaces into beautiful gardens, bathrooms and kitchens and then larger projects such as transforming a large barn into an open plan comfortable 1 bed apartment.
Now based in Stratford upon Avon I can help you visualise the endless possibilities for your home and garden. I know how difficult it is to find someone reliable and trustworthy, who is happy to come out for a small job. At fox
Renovations we are happy to help, as we find by doing the little jobs we then get repeat business when a larger project emerges or you recommend us to a friend.
I work with a trusted group of skilled professionals such as electricians, plumbers and builders and I manage your renovation project and budget for you - so that you only have one point of contact.
