    I am the inventor of Argentium Sterling Silver and Technical
    Director for Argentium Silver Co. Ltd. 

    I trained and worked as a silversmith for twelve years and I am a
    Freeman of the Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths and the City of
    London.  During my apprenticeship, I won a Gold Medal at the
    Industrial Olympics as well as several awards for craftsmanship.  My
    masterpiece to gain the freedom of The Goldsmiths\' Company was a
    silver cross, which is now the Processional Cross used at Canterbury
    Cathedral.  I am also a Fellow of The Institute of Professional
    Goldsmiths.  Through my research into silver alloys, I have
    developed international links and working relationships with leading
    manufacturing companies. 

    Argentium Sterling Silver was developed through my research at
    Middlesex University, where I worked within the School of Art,
    Design and the Performing Arts.  Initial research focused upon the
    prevention of firescale in sterling silver and further research
    revealed other superior properties of the alloy, including high
    tarnish resistance. 

    My current responsibilities are to direct the research activities
    and product development program for Argentium Silver Co. Ltd.  This
    involves liaising with manufacturing companies, providing technical
    support and working closely with their technical teams.  I am also
    responsible for promoting the technical benefits of Argentium
    Sterling Silver through lectures, presentations and practical
    demonstrations across the globe.
