Yesterday was a sad day and the end of an era. I’m talking about designing and making my last few frames for my customers at my unit at WHA Industrial Estate Allington Lane West End Southampton.
I’ve been there 11 years working in both the heat and cold of an old prefab home built to house for families in Southampton after the war. I took my last walk into work taking in the sites one last time. I posted a sign in the window stating that I’m now permanently closed at this location.
The reason for the closure is that we are moving house. Well, bungalow actually! We are massively downsizing and moving to a bungalow in Stubbington near Fareham. The GOOD NEWS however for all those who might still require framing, is that after a short break and a holiday I will be settling up again and working from a small unit in our back garden.
So for now it’s packing, packing, packing, move house on Friday.
Then packing, packing, packing move workshop later in July.
I’d like to say a huge thank you to all my customers in supplying me with an ever varied array of art, photographs, memorabilia, artefacts, sports shirts and textiles. I hope that some of you will want to visit me at my new set up and I have the added bonus of only being a 20 minute walk from the beach.
