For the past few months, possibly even a year or so, I’ve been concentrating my efforts on a related business – The Woodturning Shop – but now I am refocusing some efforts on Hampshire Sheen.

I am heading over the SWAT in August as a lead demonstrator, Denmark in September and also a visit to our newest distributor in Sweden in September or October.

With plenty of potential new customers, I need to ensure that Hampshire Sheen is not just a company that manufactures excellent products – I want to ensure the company offers more bang for the buck.

The next month or so will see me working on a large copy writing and photography spree for new customer materials to help, advise and inspire our users. More on this in due course.

Also, the Excellence in Finishing Course will be revisited in further online demonstrations. Not the marathon demos as seen during Covid and October ’21, but a selection of shorter demonstration lessons focusing on a small number of products during each one.

Already, the website has been slimmed down and rewritten in places to make it more concise and information. There will be more to follow on this, too.

I’ve left it too long, but now the summer is coming, it is time to clean it up and step it up.
