Just got a nice order in for supply of six different types of cornice for a TV show called penny dreadful with Timothy Dalton starring in it,
Good timing for us as we tend to slack off this time of year,
And from previous experience the film studios are excellent payers

Back through the foggy mist's of time I worked with an old spread who's mate also a spread worked at pinewood studio's and by all accounts they were very very good payers. At least once a week i would be told the story of how his mate smoked american cig's that he spent more on than he used to earn in a week I never used to tire of that story :rolleyes)
 
Very nice mate!

Not 100 per cent sure mate , but as all our competitors prices are similar to ours , I think the designs we have suited the period they were trying to create,

Alot of our work comes from architects / conservation officer specifying us to do the job. After a 100 years in the game, the name 'Adams' seems to stick.

Yes I agree , and well deserved , we are only babies . 25 Years this December,
But sometimes especially with builders it's just price , price. Price
No regard for quality or service,

I started my apprenticeship and did the first nine monthes in a college in Dublin , was lucky enough to be taken on by established contractor who did a bit of fibrous work,
Got to prefer it to normal spreading and set up the company in 1988
