TIME TO BE INSPIRED 

OUR THANKS 

Our sketch book was inspired by our very talented customers who champion quality materials. At the end of our sketch book, you can read all about the customers who inspired us. Check out their socials and be sure to give them a follow.

OUR ARTIST

Ellenanne is our very talented in-house artist. As daughter of our late founder, Gerald Brown, Ellenanne began working for Abbey in 1988. Before we moved online, Ellenanne was responsible for drawing all our fittings, hardware and bits for the Abbey catalogue so she really knows her stuff when comes to selecting the best fittings.  

We hope her sketches provide inspiration and encouragement to source quality fittings from the UK’s leading supplier of workshop materials and tools.
