With a boundless imagination, he crafts each piece meticulously, infusing them with a unique personality.

Lotty - The Wordsmith
Now, let's shine a light on Lotty, the storyteller extraordinaire. Well that's me! I'm a Mum of 3 and Nanny Lou to 6 gorgeous grandchildren. I weave enchanting tales about the Berts, Andy's creations, giving each of them their own name, personality, and thrilling adventure.
I've always wanted to write, since being a child growing up in Yorkshire, to following Andy in his career in the armed forces to now living in Shropshire where I get to live my dream. Each time I look at a different Bert my mind is filled with fun stories and adventures I want to share with children. My first story Weebert has an Adventure has now been published and to say I'm thrilled is an understatement!
Who is Bert?
The Berts, as we affectionately call Andy's robot sculptures, are named after Lotty's great-grandfather Herbert. Herbert was born in Leeds in 1897. He was a man who could never discard anything he deemed useful. In his pocket you could always find a piece of string along with a few Fox's Glacier mints. He always embraced the art of make do and mend long before reuse and recycling became fashionable bywords. Our Berts are a tribute not only to him but to the ethos and art of repurposing and breathing new life into forgotten objects.
