Jurassic Vinyl's consists of two guys in Dorset with an opportunity to create an online shop and vinyl cutter.
The Beginnings
Back in 2019 Ben was out with friends and was offered a vinyl cutter some vinyl and the software. after a bit of research, Ben called up Kev and asked if he would be interested in going halves on the purchase... Both of us had dabbled and helped out family/friends and some local businesses after we purchased the cutter but hadn't really done much else beyond that as of us are in full-time professional jobs.
Fast forward to April 2020 when both Ben and Kev were furloughed as a result of the global pandemic COVID19. Like many others in the same situation, we were trying to find things to do to occupy their time whilst in a lockdown. Kev had already purchased a couple of domains Ben and Kev sat down and looked at how we could better utilise our purchase so Jurassic Vinyl's website was born 21st April 2020.

About Ben & Kev
When it all started... Jurassic Vinyls consists of two guys with a friendship going back 10 years, We originally met as leaders through Scouting and Duke of Edinburgh. From there it's been housemates, colleagues, best man, godparent and overlapping all that business partners with Jurassic Vinyl's and still doing Scouting!
In 2024, Kev moved into a new place, and through mutual decision, Kev took sole ownership of Jurassic Vinyls.
Born in London and now living in south coast for 20 years, Kev is the IT Guru working in several business sectors in varying IT roles and now in IT Management, was perfect for the setup of Jurassic Vinyls. With a hint of creativity, he is behind much of the artwork that goes into creating the products on the site, as well as the day-to-day running (hosting, security, upkeep, and upgrades).
That mix of creativity and “let’s make it work” energy is also what helped spark Jurassic Vinyls. Today, the shop is positioned as a Dorset‑based business on the South Coast, focused on custom and pre‑cut vinyl designs and a growing catalogue of designs.
After an opportunity emerged in 2019 to get started with a vinyl cutter and the tools to design and produce decals, Kevin and his long‑time friend Ben decided to build something properly — and when the 2020 pandemic created unexpected downtime, they put the energy into launching Jurassic Vinyls in April 2020.
Outside of the workshop side of life, Kevin is deeply involved in youth leadership. He has organised and run scouting events and camps, and he helped lead a Dorset contingent to the World Scout Jamboree (South Korea, 2023) — coordinating a large group of young people as part of the trip. He’s also involved with Duke of Edinburgh’s Award locally, including training to support expedition assessment and wider networking across Dorset groups.
As Jurassic Vinyls continues to evolve — including the more recent website and operational updates shared on the store — Kevin’s focus remains the same: combine quality materials, clean design, and reliable service, and keep improving what customers experience from checkout to install.
