From the age of sixteen I began working for John.t.Marshall, a company with a long history in building good quality British made hot foil machines, I progressed to the position of mechanical engineer, building many of the types of hot foil machines that are available on this site. I left the company in 2007 after 20 years.

During my time at the company one of my areas of responsibility was as service engineer, visiting companies and installing and commissioning machines - if you have had any contact with John.T.Marshall in the past, it's possibly been with myself.
I believe I am now one of the only people trained at John t Marshall still available to visit your workplace and service machines.

Also having worked in the die division of Marshalls  - Mackrell & Co , I have many years of experience in block/die making, and continued this between making and servicing machines. I also have knowledge of foils and their applications and can advise you in their purchase and any other hot foil queries. If required I can call upon other skilled professionals throughout the trade who can offer expert advice.
