    email or give them a call mate, just tell them you want panatrim, they also do mini-trim but thats useless for proper sign work. (can be handy for slide boards though 😀 )

    Stephen, as Rob said, its best to give them a call … we always find them more than helpful. It is called panatrim, not sure why its not on web??

    hi chaps, tried amari!!

    must say not impressed!!

    our local branch in leeds, the staff who answered the phone were very arrogant and not very helpful

    first i spoke to a lad who dint seem to understand what pantrim was, then when i explained he gave me a price of £25 per 6 metre length, then he put me onto someone who said that if he had answered my call he would have quoted me £37 per length.

    we currently get it at £16 per 6 metre length from a company in the west midlands

    all the best

    Hi chaps, back on the note of the pantrim suppliers

    I tried Amari- very vague on price and not very helpful
    I tried Cherwells and they never returned my call

    Went back to our current supplier Alutrade (0121 552 0330) and they quoted £12.00 per 5 metre length of standard frame in mill finish and it was despatched the same day and received by us next day.

    An old saying my dad used to use when i was a nipper: “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it”

    Merry christmas and a happy new year to all

    cheers
