Hi All,
By way of introduction my name is Graham from Portsmouth where I run Art & Framing. My Wessex / Frinton rep told me about the forum so here I am.....I've only been in the business 4 years and its the first time I've heard about the forum but hey, better late than never lol.
I took over my local (dare I say ailing) picture framers in June 2014. It has been a lot of hard work getting there but by June 2016 we expanded to larger premises a stone's throw away. We are planning to grow again in June 2018, so it feels like another 2 yearly cycle at the moment. This next 2-year cycle is one of great excitement for me personally and a big ask if I'm honest but as we are currently pitching to Richard Branson through Virgin Media's VOOM 2018, what more can I say. If you are not familiar with VOOM then it is a bit like Dragons Den and another good reason to write on the forum to hopefully gain some traction and feedback from other framers up and down the country who might like to offer some support as I do feel we are flying the flag for the art and framing industry in one of the most exciting competitions in the UK and Ireland.
So in the words of one of my favourite bands...."is there anybody out there?"
