Brian Holmwood opened the shop in 1978. By the late 1990's he'd added a glass 'sand blasting' machine, offering glass engraving to our clients. The computer metal engraving machine soon followed.

In times of advancing years, Brian decided to take life, 'more easy'. In February 2006 the business was sold to Stuart Allcock.

In his late thirties, Stuart felt this was the challenge he needed, having become bored and tired with Financial Advice. He does wish, however, to continue the ethos of unbiased advice, which his old company Impartial (UK) Ltd valued greatly. So, you come first always, and we uphold the virtues of best advice to you at all times.

High Quality

We very much wish to bring the best quality product to you, either through our worldwide supplier network, or by learning state-of-the-art engraving methods and techniques.
