BBC presenter Jules Hudson was inundated with support as he shared more about his new career venture away from TV. The archaeologist and television producer, 54, is best known for his appearances on BBC shows Escape to the Country and Countryfile , but has now turned his attention to something completely different. Earlier this year, Jules revealed that he took a 12-week furniture-making course at the Boat Building Academy in Lyme Regis, opening up about his keen interest in reclamation, recycling and repurposing old furniture.
The TV star has now turned his passion into a career as he recently launched The Jules Store. Located in Hereford, the new store features a stunning range of handmade furniture and other items created by the presenter. Ahead of the opening on Saturday (November 16), Jules reflected on the "long journey" he's been on, adding: "But the start of something exciting which I hope you’ll enjoy too.

He penned: "We did it! The Jules Store launched today, so huge thanks to the amazing team at @warehouse701 and everyone who came along today to say hello and talk design. "It’s early days and more items are on their way, but it’s great to finally have a home from which to showcase all the hard work from the workshop.
