Steve Hobbs comes from a family with a feeling for iron wheeled vehicles. His father (a builder and carpenter) and brother have been collecting and restoring traction engines since the late 60’s, and family holidays were spent sleeping in dad’s restored living wagon attending steam rallies throughout Kent. Steve could drive a traction engine before he could drive a car. After a career in Graphic Design and having grown up around all things historical he fell in love with a shepherds hut and as they say the rest is history. Steve and his wife Helen created Cotswold Shepherd’s Huts to rescue them from the hedgerows and fields of Britain and restore them and bring them back to life.
