Welcome to the forum and good luck with your business.

AMD also have a Belfast depot in Newtownabbey. Tel John or Graham on 028 9083 9999.

Ashworth & Thompson are located in the Duncrue Estate in Belfast. Tel Simon on 028 9077 0292.

Simons is Tony Cassidy as stated. He is very helpful.

Arqadia are also worth a look at. You can order online and minimum order for NI is only £95, which is very good. Downside is the rep is based in Scotland, upside is the online sales works well and the sales staff are very helpful. http://www.arqadia.com

If you're looking for training try Down School of Picture Framing in Dromore, Tel 028 9269 3807.

We get our blades sharpened by Mainline Mouldings and they will arrange collection and delivery http://mainlinemouldings.com/index.php?DepartmentID=13

Hope that helps.

Regarding the Morso Blade sharpening - We've just received back 4 sets of Sharpened blades from Lion (www.lionpic.co.uk) - the total cost , including courier to & from worked out at €110, with a total turn around time of 10 days . We've had some blades sharpened elsewhere before, but so far this is our preffered service.
