| I started working in the TV trade, as an apprentice, straight after leaving Chew Valley School. My apprenticeship was with a national retailer endorsed to RETRA (Radio, Electrical and Television Retailers Association).
I passed my City & Guilds in Radio, Television and Electricals (with a Distinction) in 1973, and after my years as an apprentice in servicing I moved to a national TV rental company for 5 years.
It was at this point I decided that it was about time I setup my own business.
