Between 1969 & 1972 he graduated from Central School of Art &Design in London with a B.A Hons. Degree in ceramics and 3D design.

From 1972 to 1978 Roy lectured in Ceramics and Fine Art at the University of Central Lancashire leaving in the summer of 1978 to become a hand made designer for three years for Jersey Pottery.

From 1981 to 1992 Stratford upon Avon Ceramics was formed with Roy being the sole proprietor, displaying and retailing all over the UK, including the NEC and the Ideal Home Exhibition.

Between 1992 & 2010 the pottery was put on hold whilst pursuing various other occupations, including running a public house and working for a national printing company.
