Her Majesty The Queen will become the first British Monarch to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee after 70 years of service.
The Platinum Jubilee will be celebrated in the Commonwealth to mark the 70th anniversary of the accession of Queen Elizabeth II on 6th February 1952.
I thought this would be a great opportunity to let you know I offer a Medal & Memorabilia Framing Services.
Here are a few examples of what I have framed in the past.
Framing Unlimited is an environmentally aware picture framing business.
ENVIRONMENT STATEMENT.
I endeavour to minimise the impact my framing service has on the environment through the processes, materials and products I use.
POLCORE® FRAME MOULDING.
Polcore ® is recycled polystyrene – an alternative picture moulding material.
Recycled polystyrene picture frame mouldings have a skin of HIPS (High Impact Polystyrene) – known as ‘virgin’ on the outside of the profile which provides a smooth surface on which to finish.
The core of the moulding is made up of about 70% recycled polystyrene and 30% virgin polystyrene.
Recycled polystyrene is made up of waste products from mainly two sources:
The electronics industry
Plastic packaging – mainly from the food industry.
It contains NO detectable formaldehyde or carcinogenic substances and is free from lead.
The manufacturing process is clean.
Does not use spray paints.
The manufacturing process uses decorative transfer films.
Therefore the material that constitutes recycled polystyrene mouldings broadly conserves the use of the earth’s natural raw materials by using those that have been recycled.
WOOD FRAME MOULDINGS.
The ranges of wood products I use are from companies that purchase their timber from sustainable sources and reforestation projects.
Other ecological considerations include the use of water based paints and varnishes.
Hi, I really do hope you’re all keeping safe and well through these uncertain times. I think It is fair to say it’s been an especially tough year for everyone. I just thought I’d give you an update on what’s been happening at the workshop and what I have planned for the weeks ahead. In all honesty, nothing much has been happening front of house recently due to restrictions imposed by government, but there’s lots been happening behind the scenes. This update will highlight the measures I’ve put in place to keep you and myself safe when the workshop reopens and welcomes you back.
Hi, I hope you are all keeping safe, well and positive in these uncertain times?
As the workshop is closed during the lockdown, it’s giving me some time to explore some additional framing services I can offer my customers when I re-open.
I am often asked if I have ready made frames in stock to purchase. It’s something I did not offer in the past for a number of reasons;
1. Storage is limited at the workshop. 2. The vast frame selection would be unmanageable. 3. Overwhelming workload prior to lockdown (no time to make stock frames).
These are only a few of the factors that prevented me from offering the “Ready Made Frame” product.
So, the lockdown has given me time to formulate a plan!
I’m delighted to offer Ready Made Frames when the workshop re-opens.
There will be a selection of colours and standard frame sizes available to purchase on-line (click & collect) and at the workshop. Unfortunately there will not be a delivery/postage option.
A friend and local business owner recently completed some military medal mounting for Lloyd, an ex-serving soldier from Newark, Nottingham.
They struck up a conversation and Lloyd shared an idea he had for a retirement gift for a very good friend of his. They hatched a plan to produce a retirement gift with the WOW factor!
During the conversation, George who owns McKay’s Kilts and Medal in Consett, suggested using my framing services to help create the gift.
Lloyd visited my workshop the very same day to discuss the options.To cut a long story short, the images you see in this post are of the finished item. Working together helped get the WOW factor and more!!
