Matthew Collins
Matthew Collins set up his first workshop in 1987 in Shoreditch, East London, after training at Buckinghamshire College in High Wycombe.
After taking on his first apprentice and assistant he needed more space so the workshop moved to Camberwell and then in 1990 to its present location at Stanton Harcourt near Oxford.
Nick Neenan is the works manager who joined the company in 1992 after graduating from the same course at Buckinghamshire College
Matthew Collins currently employs five craftsmen, two trainees and three apprentices.
