A view from our despatch warehouse in Perrott’s Brook,
Cirencester.
Founded in 1985, Weston Mitchell Ltd have
specialised in restoration of fine furniture and cabinet making
for over 20 years. Over this period we have gained knowledge
and a stock of materials essential to the preservation and restoration
of antique furniture ranging from period mirror plate and timber
through to handles and fixings. In addition we stock veneers,
specialist polishes, glues and associated items.
Managing Director, Weston Mitchell has been finding it increasingly
difficult to locate and purchase quality materials. Recently,
with the demise of many traditional ironmongery shops, the increase
in minimum orders from suppliers and difficulties of carriage,
he found himself spending many hours a month sourcing materials.
This, he realised was costing time and money, with frequent
trips away from the workshop others must face the same problems.
In twenty years of trading he has not had a service that would
provide most of the items direct to the door.
Rest Express was created in 2005 to fill the ever increasing
gap between workshops getting smaller and minimum orders getting
larger.
Our aim is to aid workshops and craftsmen with a reliable service
providing both knowledge and products at reasonable prices which
in turn should keep overheads and time away from the bench or
workshop to a minimum time = money.
