Hi,
I started framing up near Glasgow a couple of years ago and have now made a fairly dramatic move for there to Dorset! I'm trying to re-establish my business down here and was wondering if anyone could advise about suppliers for glass etc.
Thanks!
Craig

Wessex would be on your doorstep near enough I would have thought.

Thanks for that Grays. Have been in touch with them today to change my account. Was just wondering if there was a glazier etc who were better priced. Think I'll definitely be getting my first stock order from them though

Well I would say wessex would be the keenest prices in the UK along with centrado.

Hi Craigfda and welcome to the West Country
I know you've already sorted your account with Wessex, but it might be worth also checking with Centrado as I know they deliver to our area but I'm not sure if they also deliver to Dorset. Could be a handy additional supplier. We also use our local branch of Roman Glass for some stuff cut to size (mainly mirror, 3mm glass and when we've forgotten to order it in time for a van delivery
or just need it quickly) near you they have branches in Blandford Forum, Gillingham and also Bournemouth.
