Rico Daniels

Rico Daniels is an English television presenter who has his own show, The Salvager[1] on Discovery Real Time. A passionate recycler, the second series (similar in content to the first) saw him relocating in France and was called Le Salvager.[2] Born in 1952 Daniels was brought up in Basildon and left school at 15[3] to become a civil servant, but soon realised this was not for him and enrolled as an art student. Disliking the formal tuition[4] Daniels embarked on a range of jobs before settling for the life of a market trader.[5] In 2002 he was invited to screen test for a new programme about men and their sheds.[6] While he was not quite suitable for this assignment, the producer liked his idiosyncratic style and commissioned him for a series of programmes showcasing his imaginative talent for changing something unwanted into a distinctive piece of furniture.[7]
