Toby Powell is the managing director of Powell Craft. He chose exhibiting at the annual trade show in Harrogate as a highlight of his job – he has been attending it since he was 6 years old when his father William was at the helm of the company which at that time sold wooden toys. Harrogate is doubly significant to Toby because he met his wife, Kate, there. Based in Brighton, Toby loves the beach and rambles on the Sussex Downs.
