After studying Theatre Design for three years,
Robert served an apprenticeship with the noted jeweller Martin Adams.
He was fortunate to work under Martin's supervision on many film and TV
projects including the Oscar winning Last Emperor. Over the next few years,
Robert combined this apprenticeship with other work for the Royal Opera
House and TV productions such as Dr. Who, Max Headroom and various BBC
comedy shows, often collaborating with fellow effects workers Stephen
Mansfield and Sue Moore. |

As the workload and scope of the projects became
greater, Robert decided to expand his previously modest premises. The
current workshop allows for separate areas for the diverse aspects of
the work: metal work, costume making, vacuum forming, mould making etc.
It was at this point that "& Associates"
was added to the company name to acknowledge the enormous contribution
of the workshop team members, making it clear that this was no longer
the one man operation it had once been. |
