James Dowle - Director

Trained initially as a mechanic technician on construction, mining and marine equipment, before becoming a furniture designer and maker through the 1980's, specialising in solid timber domestic furniture to original designs and high-grade office reception and boardroom furniture.
The 1990's were spent developing the manufacturing business 'Focal Point' to produce highly detailed desktop wooden promotional products using traditional woodwork techniques combined with laser engraving and cutting.
A few years of teaching in Adult Education and High-school technology preceeded the establishment of Waka in 2003. As this business has developed to meet the needs of a growing clientele the emphasis is shifting from CNC machinery to the software that drives it, although a select range of machinery is still supported.
