Description

This week, Robbie chats with the gentleman of upholstery, Mr Bruce Jack.

Entering the trade at the tender age of 16 on a Youth Training Scheme (because it seemed more fun than working as a gardener in a stately home and didn’t require him to learn Latin!), Bruce quickly realised it was the perfect career for him.   Now, having been a member of the Guild of Traditional Upholsterers for over 30 years, his experience speaks for itself.
In this episode Bruce shares some golden nuggets of advice for all those just starting out in the trade but his story is fascinating for both novices and experts alike.
