“Always been very happy with the service, my only very slight issue is sometimes the quality of the Ash wood I always use now and then the batches have saw marks on and I am unable to use those lengths, I never really complain as the rest of your services is excellent but maybe the white/black ash woods could be checked beter before you send them out. Keep up the great work.”

“I 'phoned with a moulding question earlier this week. The young woman 'phoned back within half an hour with the answer - she was extremely helpful and professional. Thank you”

“Cheerful efficient service - amazing range of products and inspiring selection of frames. Although I am only a 'garage framer' I am never made to feel unwelcome or a nuisance. Well done. Martin Malpas”

“Lion has been a big part of my business since it's inception 25 years ago. Service is exceptional (Julia Smyth in particular deserves a mention. Hope she comes back after maternity leave!) Their products are of very good quality and rarely do we have a problem with the chop service- Lion is our biggest supplier of chop which we use almost entirely for ordering moulding.”

“(1) Exceptionally good catalogues and website information, especially detailed moulding profile view and sizing; (2) Very welcome advice sheets on all sorts of framing topics; (3)Top class web and telephone customer service; (4) trade counter staff also extremely pleasant and helpful; and available - compare for example Arqadia's rather desolate display/waiting room where a wait of 5 minutes to see somebody is the norm; (5) European sourcing ensures high quality mouldings; compare calamitous efforts by Arqadia/Simons/Wessex to source from Far East resulting in lower quality, difficult to cut mouldings but worst of all stock-outs even on standard certificate frame mouldings of 2 - 3 months!! (6) I sadly miss the former trade counter experience in Birmingham and London which was the only "picture framers' shop" in the business; located just under one hour from Birmingham I now tend to use Centrado's weekly and reliable delivery service which also includes glass, for all my hardware etc which I might otherwise have scooped into a basket. Seeing mouldings in their entire length (when not wrapped!) was also very helpful. Wessex Leamington are only 25 minutes away so I often rely on them for one-off mount board orders and one-off mouldings for retail customers. (7) Please, please use your influence to reform the FATG. There are at least a dozen framers in and around Banbury of whom only one is an FATG member (I lasted just one year). (7) I don't fully”

“Service has definitely gone downhill since Lion South closed, so many mistakes and damages from Birmingham, have switched a lot of business elsewhere”

“All good. Roland is a brilliant ambassador. Minus point is blade resharpening however. I had three sets hollow ground last autumn. They came back worse than when I sent them away. Pushing very badly.. I had to resort to buying a brand new set from yourselves. I sent the offending sets back ( along with 4 other sets ) _ and was then charged for them to be re ground. - despite assurances to the contrary. I'm still awaiting credit. Sharp and effective Morso blades are obviously crucial to most picture framing businesses. When they fail it is very irksome. It wasn't the first time it had happened either. Otherwise all good ..... except for missing Lion South . But I understand that was probably commercially driven ? Kind regards Stuart Herring”

“I think Lion score tops marks on most things. Generally the range of products is good. Lion offer a great range of conservation materials which other suppliers don't do. They offer a good range of machinery, sold at competitive prices. Deliveries are good, service is good. Generally I find Lion very helpful and accommodating. Tony Lion is always very helpful, with lots of knowledge to share. My only fault with Lion is the quality of the mouldings. We do not stock many Lion mouldings because I find many of the pre-finished mouldings a little bit lacking in quality. This is a problem because, since the other products are so good, we could easily place more orders with Lion. At the moment, most of our orders are for back boards, tapes, glues, etc. Their bare woods are great, especially the not so common woods like walnut and cherry. I would like to see more unusual woods as well as a wider range of bare wood profiles. Although one of our suppliers has a large range of bare woods, they do not stock every shape or every wood. I am always on the look out for alternative bare wood suppliers so we can add to our range.”

“The minimum spend for the regular delivery charge is not great, but other than that, the company gives a good service.”
