Shane did an amazing job framing a Pink Floyd tour poster for me. He was incredibly helpful at picking out the perfect mount and frame. This was a gift for my husbands birthday who opened it today and was totally blown away. Thank you so much for doing such a great job and within a short timeframe. I cannot recommend highly enough!

Fantastic service and beautiful craftsmanship. I posted my degree to Hannah and she framed it perfectly, choosing just the right complementary colours, and I had it back very quickly (and wrapped well) in the post.

I used HMC framing late last year for a birthday present. My other half designed it, as it's his own creation from his book. And I cross-stitched and framed it. He's delighted with the results. And I have Cross Stitch for framing, waiting in the wings when lockdown ends :)

This was my first time using HMC Framing, I was getting a new oil painting stretched and framed (picture of final frame attached to review). Their customer service was excellent and as you can see they have helped pick out the perfect frame for my painting. The quality of the work is also second to none with the frame feeling sold and well constructed. With the easy parking onsite and excellent customer service I can easily recommend their services. Thank you HMC framing I am sure I will be visiting again.
