It all started when I was 17 with my very first car, a Rover Metro. The moment I saw its brown interior, all I wanted to do was change it. I even drew up a design, but I never got around to completing it. My passion for transforming car interiors really took off with my second car, a Peugeot 306. I grabbed some materials from Dunelm and had a go at upholstering the seats using a domestic sewing machine. I wish I had pictures of it now! From that point on, every car I owned saw its interior modified — that’s always been my main focus.

When I turned 21, after working in my family’s business since leaving school, I approached a local upholstery company. I offered to work for free if they’d teach me the trade. Soon enough, I was not only upholstering but also taking on photography and building their website. Eventually, I became a key part of the team. However, in 2010, I left and decided to start my own journey. EDGE Automotive was born in August of that year, and I haven’t looked back since.
