A warm welcome at the Spring Fair

At this year's International Spring Fair, Colourmount will be offering a warm welcome, help and advice to all framers, large and small. Our stand is not designed as a forum for selling, but as a meeting point where like-minded people can discuss industry issues. Our Spring Fair team has more than one hundred years' combined experience in the manufacture and use of mountboard - you can take advantage of this wealth of knowledge at the Spring Fair.

ANDREW BRANTON
Your primary contact for any questions regarding Colourmount. Andrew is our UK Market Development Manager and has become a familiar figure in the industry, known to all the stockists and many framers. He will be available for the whole week of the Spring Fair to discuss ways in which Colourmount can help you. He will have our new point of sale material - colour charts and chevrons - available to order, and will be able to tell you about our further plans for 1998.
LYN PRESTON
With a background in production and eighteen years' total Colourmount experience, Lyn is now responsible for new product development, including our exciting new introductions in woodgrain, linen and metallic board. Lyn will have samples of all the new ranges for you to take away, so be sure to ask.
MIKE BRADDOCK
After 27 years with the company, there is very little Mike doesn't know about mountboard. As Managing Director, Mike is responsible for the company's performance, but still finds time to visit the Spring Fair. He says it's the only time he gets a chance to meet you, Colourmount's real customer, and is an important opportunity to hear your views on Colourmount, the industry and the future of framing.
SANDY GUTHRIE
Sandy is a relative newcomer to Colourmount - with only six years under his belt ! As Sales & Marketing Director, it is Sandy's job to grow the Colourmount business. His wide commercial experience before working with Colourmount has proved an invaluable asset to the company.
KEITH HEWITT
Another long-standing member of our team, although one you may not have seen very often, is our International Sales Manager, Keith Hewitt. Keith spends almost six months of the year travelling, visiting all our overseas markets around the world. Keith will be at the Spring Fair all week, as he thinks trade shows offer a valuable opportunity to gain insight into the framing industry of each country.
LYNDA BRADDOCK
As our Export Manager, Lynda is responsible for Colourmount's export sales to fifty-two countries across five continents. Lynda is well placed to manage our export business, with the latest in a string of professional qualifications confirmed just before Christmas. Lynda and Keith are expecting many overseas customers to visit the Spring Fair and, later this spring, to visit SACA in Italy and Image '98 in Amsterdam.
