Local framing company, Wiltshire Framing, has moved to new larger premises in the town centre.
They’ve moved from Bath Road to 7 Bank Street into the former stationery shop.
“The floods we had in 2024 really hit us hard and caused all sorts of problems with the property and there are no signs of getting them sorted out so the move was the best option” said owner Kevin Beadle. “And it’s worked out really well.
“It’s a much better spot for us up here. We’re right in the town centre with far more people walking past and the premises are bigger and so much better.”
Kevin started Wiltshire Framing 15 years ago after 30 years’ service in the Royal Air Force and specialises in bespoke picture framing including military and memorabilia, canvases and large format printing. They also offer a range of other services including passport and visa photos, photo restorations, transfer of video tapes and slides, photocopying, large format printing up to size A0 and a vast selection of standard sized frames off the shelf. Supporting Kevin in the shop is local artist Steve, bringing an artist’s flair to their work specialising in art and frame restoration.
“Apart from the setback with the floods, the business has gone from strength to strength,” said Kevin. “We offer professional, carefully framed artwork at competitive prices. Our specialty is memorabilia and military and sport medal framing including medal mounting, and after 30 years’ service in the forces, I know how important it is to give it the professional presentation that’s so richly deserved. We also offer a 10% discount on framing for people serving in the forces or other emergency services.
“I think the secret to our success is that we take the time to listen to our clients’ requirements and produce artwork that is meticulously made with quality materials. We’re happy to advise and use our experience on what is best for their artwork.
“It’s meant we’ve built an impressive client base, including A-list celebrities who live in the local area. Our experience, combined with great value for money, is what brings our regular customers back time and time again and many have become good friends.”
