Dear friends and customers,
It is with deep regret that I inform you we are no longer trading. After the loss of my beloved husband Andrew last year, I have made the difficult decision to close the business.
This was not an easy choice. For the past 28 years, Andrew and I worked side by side, building something we were incredibly proud of. However, after much reflection, I’ve realized that it is time for me to focus on myself and my family. The business has been a significant distraction over the past five months, and I now need to prioritize my children and my well-being.
I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to each and every one of you who has supported us throughout the years. Your loyalty and kindness have meant the world to us, and many of you became more like family than customers. I will genuinely miss you all.
Andrew and I poured our hearts into this business, and while it’s incredibly difficult to walk away, I’m determined to leave on a positive note, proud of what we created together.
While this chapter is closing, it’s not the end of the workshop. We are currently in the process of selling, and though it may take some time, I ask that you please give the new owners a chance. I’ll be sure to keep you updated on the reopening timeline.
Until then, thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support, trust, and friendship. Please take care.
With love and gratitude,
Nicola, Nico & Phoebe
