About Award Picture Framing & Digital Printing

I started picture framing 20 years ago as a hobby, this progressed to making frames for family and friends, the more I made, the more involved in picture framing I became. This continued for several years until I found myself spending almost as much time picture framing as I was in my primary profession as a teacher.

After over 20 years it took a great deal of thought and consideration, but I felt I had given enough to teaching and decided it was time to do something completely different. And what could be better than doing something that is a hobby of yours, and being your own boss??

So I decided to put my knowledge, experience and passion for picture framing to good use and started Award picture framing.

Towards the end of 2007, the business had been showing steady growth, to the point where I had become snowed under with the volume of work. It was at this point I enlisted the help of my son to help cope with the rush leading up to Christmas. During this period we worked tirelessly to get all the orders out and to teach my son as much as I could in a short space of time.

In March of this year we decided to take things a step further, by setting up Award digital printing, which will run alongside our existing framing business.

Award digital printing offers a complete giclee printing service.
