What did we get up to in 2014?
We welcomed some new members to the Just...Trio team. Over in Barnstaple Rachel joined us as assistant manager and never fails to have a smile on her face, Gemma has taken on the challenge of the second floor and is doing a brilliant job, Hannah is our lovely new general assistant and finally over in Bideford they welcomed Carol, she has fitted in with our team perfectly.
Back in April we had the pleasure of introducing our second floor. Many people don't realise what a beautiful space it is until you reach the top of the original spiral staircase and pause for a moment to take it in...it is breath taking. The building show cases our various collections and styles. We have filled the space with a contemporary room packed full of sleek, original furnishings, a kitchen room containing quirky but practical pieces and a spacious front room inspired by a Danish brand called Lene Bjerre; a firm favourite with our customers.
August the 16th called for celebration as we had our 1st birthday! Cake washed down with a fresh glass of Pimms, what more could you want? We were pleased to see many of our regulars and meet some new faces too. During the year we welcomed many new customers and introduced some exciting new brands. Folli Follie has been one of our favourite additions (what girl doesn't like a bit of sparkle?). With a jewellers in Bideford it was only natural to introduce some "bling" to our Barnstaple shop. Our newly appointed jewellery manager, Louise, has been kept busy displaying our ranges in the jewellery section.
Not only did we expand in April but we thought we would treat everyone to a couple of christmas rooms for the festive period! With many comments like 'it's like a winter wonderland' and 'it looks like santas grotto' we think it was a hit; one of those to notice was The Kentisbury Grange Hotel. They loved it so much we were asked to decorate their hotel and restaurant. We met the resident peacocks and enjoyed some tasty shortbread...too much fun to be called work.
What will 2015 bring?
We have now taken 2015 by storm as we have been inundated with deliveries of beautiful new stock. With a wide selection of trunks, mirrors, chairs, clocks and much more, we are sure you will be able to find something to complete or enhance any home/business. Many of our products hardly settle on the shop floor before being snapped up; make sure you don't miss out! With Christmas now behind us we have completely changed the two rooms. The first room has now be transformed in to a casual retro living room, made up of our Broste collection and some furniture reminiscent of the 60's. The second, now an elegant bedroom set, complete with a beautiful four posted bed and delicate furnishings.
2015 will also be welcoming new spring collections across many of our brands. We have just received the new catalogue of Lene Bjerre and we have to say...It looks amazing! We are all looking forward to the arrival of that collection. In our Folli Follie and Ti sento collection we will be having the new season of Jewellery and if it's anything like their current collections we are in for a treat. Just...Remember that once this seasons collections have gone we will not be able to order them in again, so if you or a loved one has their eye on something don't leave it too late.
Once the 'techy' side of our internet has been sorted out we will be launching our new and improved website. We promise to look after this one a bit better! We will make more products available to purchase online and be there to help you every step of the way. Just...Trio has been wanting to update its website for a while now and with the help of some great companies we will soon be able to make it accessible to all our customers near and far. Just...Watch this space for when it arrives!
For all your custom, support and great feed back during 2014, Just...Trio would like to say thank-you and we are hoping you will keep following us as we watch 2015 unfold......
