Soaring on the success of Welsh FramingRoger Edwards has been
involved in the picture framing business for over 20
years, initially as a framer and now as a distributor,
and has a wealth of experience to benefit his customers.
Welsh Framing Supplies,
established in 1987, supplies more than 75% of framing
shops and galleries in Wales.
Roger stocked Colourmount right from the start - back in
the days when our range only included 36 standard colours
! Now, of course, he stocks the whole Colourmount range
of 161 boards, as well as a wide range of mouldings,
glass, hardboard and other accessories.
Welsh Framing has grown from a one man business to a
distributorship with a fleet of 3.5 ton vans covering the
whole of Wales - an area of over 8,000 square miles !
Customers are contacted by telephone in advance of each
delivery trip, and the vans also carry a range of
additional material for unplanned requirements. This
attentive, personal service has been a major contributor
to the company's growth.
Roger and his wife, Sue, have a keen interest in
conservation and, in 1987, established a Birds of Prey
Hospital to care for and train birds for reintroduction
to the wild.
The Hospital deals with more than 100 injured birds of
prey each year, many of which feature in paintings by
Sue, a talented wildlife artist. A permanent display of
Sue's work can be seen at the gallery in Llanidloes.
Maintaining the Birds of Prey Hospital is an expensive
business, so Roger and Sue rely mainly on the income from
Welsh Framing to allow them to pursue this interest along
with other associated environmental projects. Roger is
very grateful for the support he has received from his
staff and loyal customers over the years, without which
he and Sue would be unable to continue their work with
birds of prey.
If you would
