About

Ollie has had a passion for working with his hands from a young age, inspired and taught by his dad during his early years. He went on to do an extended diploma followed by a BA Hons degree in Contemporary Crafts. Ollie was fortunate enough to work for and be mentored by a local blacksmith, Kiwi, at NZ Forge, where he found his calling for forge work and fabrication. After a number of years he went on to lead the forge for an internationally successful bespoke staircase company.

More than a decade after starting his blacksmithing journey, Ollie has moved to Helmsley with his young family and has now built his own successful business; Fulford Forge and Fabrication. Whether it is bespoke jewellery, one off tools or home and garden design features, Ollie has the experience and creativity to fulfil your individual criteria with hand crafted quality.
