Outdoor enthusiast and lover of the Great British countryside, Neil spent his teenage years driving tractors and working on a farm in Essex. He went on to complete a degree in Design before embarking on a successful career in Graphic Design and moving to Suffolk. Fifteen years on, Neil began to feel twitchy – sitting behind a desk all day and staring at a Mac screen, he wondered if there was more to life, or more specifically, more to work, than this.

After discovering a newfound passion for metal-work, Neil combined his creative design skills and began working on a series of projects for friends and family. Wildfire Bespoke now specialises in customised firebowls and firespheres but still offers bespoke weathervanes and other creative sculptured metalwork.
