It was a matter of timing, to be perfectly honest. My father's craft was making marine models, and he had been working on a model of a particular 50m yacht which I helped him hand-deliver to the shipyard. That was my first glimpse of the interior of a superyacht and, as simplistic as it sounds, I thought there might be a gap in the market for outfitting yachts as not many people were really doing it 30 years' ago (although, there was a young Kevin Glancy already covering the tableware side of things.). I decided to progress and start researching the linen side of the process. I started in Ireland, went on to Italy, and then it went from there really. I developed a fond affinity for the industry that has never left me, and here we are today decades later!
