Will joined The Repair Shop in 2017

Will has become quite the TV favourite since appearing on The Repair Shop. The presenter, who also appeared on other BBC show What To Buy and Why in 2015, has over 46 thousand followers on Instagram, and many take to the comments to compliment the craftsman. Will, who is thought to be somewhere between 30 and 35 years old, is a repair craftsman and expert in wood restoration.

According to his website, he grew up watching his grandfather in his workshop, which inspired him to follow in his footsteps. He then went on to study Graphic Design and Antique Furniture Restoration and Conservation at university before beginning to work in workshops and collaborate with dealers around London, and joining the BBC show in 2017.
