Ken Maw hails from Shrewsbury in the UK where in this small corner of the country, his name lives on – Maw and Co. was once the largest tile factory in the world located close to the famed Ironbridge and now preserved as a craft center and residential structure.

He was educated at the Oundle boarding school in Northamptonshire where he enjoyed studying sciences, forbidden pub-crawling and trying not to destroy too much historic school property until leaving with A-Level Certificates.
