Framing Unlimited secures deal with local artist to frame artwork featuring Ed Sheeran

The business, run by new owner Blayne Palmer, has framed several of the artist’s work including a piece featuring musician Ed Sheeran that is destined for the pop star’s personal collection.

Blayne took over the established business 18 months ago after leaving university with a degree in business management and a series of jobs including marketing, hospitality, and selling cars.

When the previous owner wanted to sell the business, Blayne took over the reins of Framing Unlimited. He was mentored by the previous owner which was essential for him to learn the necessary skills in picture framing.

Blayne has state of the art equipment in the workshop to ensure the frames are perfectly made and the glass is cut exactly to size with minimal waste.

With his growing reputation and work being sent all over the world, Blayne now has a full order book and is taking more difficult framing jobs in his stride.

This includes large-format pieces such as a six-foot artwork by Mick Graham, who specialises in military imagery, most notably armoured vehicles and tanks, and photography by several local photographers. Blayne has also framed wedding dresses, signed football shirts, and even a rug made from camel hair.

“I’m delighted with the way the business has grown in such a short period of time and very proud that one of my framing commissions is ending up in a super star’s home. I enjoy working with Mr Sly who has collectors all over the world and clients including Chelsea Football Club, L’Oréal and Red Ken.

“I’m also taking the business in a new direction as there is a growing market for framing wedding dresses. Traditionally, they are used once and left in a wardrobe but having them in a beautiful frame on your wall is a constant reminder of your big day and looks amazing too. I’ve done a few of these and the fashion is catching on,” he said.
