Kevin White

Welcome to our little world. I hope what is written below will give you some idea of who we are and what we do but if you have any questions please feel free to email us.

Who we are

Kev and Sal (The Whites) established Hasslefree Miniatures with Kev as a sole trader back in early 2004 when their youngest daughter Megan was only 5 months old. ‘Kev’ is Kevin James White, an established sculptor of over 20 years within the miniatures industry who has worked for pretty much every big name in the Fantasy and Sci-Fi miniature world. What HF has become is the result of Kev's love for sculpting and Sal's OCD for organising things. ‘Sal’ is Sally White, Kev's wife, also known online as ‘Mrs H’ and ‘Libertee’. Kev and Sal have 4, very active, children!

In 2012, Sal's ongoing battle with ME and it's side effects were taking a toll on her working hours and Dameon was brought in to help out, later joined by his wife Jenn. By 2013 helping out had grown to running the day-to-day tasks associated with the business while Sal took a step back from the grind and a step sideways to more creative HF pursuits. Dameon has been in the industry for 20 years himself, on the retail and game design side, and is known online (and amusingly at trade shows) by his business name 'Artemis Black'. This, coincidentally, means he and his wife Jennifer are known as 'The Blacks' :D.

Our main HF office is currently in Ripley, Derbyshire which is where Dameon and Jenn work. Kev works out of the home office, also in Derbyshire. We produce some products in-house but use contract white metal and resin casters to support our ranges.

What you see now is the culmination of a lot of hard work not just by Kev and Sal over the years but also from the many friends who supported and helped them. HF's first presence online was down to Inge Jensen (Jenova) who hosted us on her site for a year until Tony Stapells (www.Stapells.com) built the first proper e-commerce site, and now we have this one which we hope will help us to move to the next level and allow Kev to spend more time sculpting and Sal to spend more time recuperating and creating.
