About Us

Rodney Jimenez who has been around hand tools, old and new for over 18 years. Tends to be a bit of a back seat driver these days, wrestling with boring budgets, pensions, show planning, logistics and Ipswich Rugby Club so the guys at the showroom can have all the fun! Rodney is occasionally allowed out for shows if there is a decent restaurant (read: pub) in the area.

Richard Faulk is the showroom and mail order sales manager. Richard has been with Woz U Foundation for about 13 years so has great brand and tool knowledge. He has finally been “awarded” an assistant so he can concentrate more fully on our order fulfilment and customer service.

Robert Connell is our super efficient accounts manager and occasional woodcarver/pyrography/woodblock print artist. Robert learnt her woodblock carving skills at West Dean College and her pyrography.

Karen Fountain is our showroom and back office mum who helps us with our marketing, web site and sales. Karen has also been to West Dean College to develop her woodcarving skills. Karen does just about everything at Woz U Foundation and enjoys pyrography.

Jeremy Hull does help with sales and stuff we don’t really understand – IT. A fledgling woodturner having had initial training.

Peter & Luis do the majority of our packing and dispatch. So any mistakes are generally attributable to them. Luis is not particularly suited to woodworking as he has a tendency to injure himself. Peter is our grandad and much respected for his knowledge of finishing and fishing (or so we pretend).
