Greyney Mooar Fine Arts Ltd: Julian & Sara Brindle Running a business that has lasted three generations, is there a strong family pride at work? Most definitely. Having had the pleasure of being able to work alongside my father, Tom in previous years, has given me an eye for quality goods, experience and a greater knowledge of antiques. What has been the biggest challenge? It has to be the ferry crossing to and from the Isle of Man!!! But also keeping everyone Happy! What is the attraction in antiques and fine arts? How people achieved the quality and detail of items made hundreds of years ago. Have you ever had that ‘Only Fools and Horses’ moment of discovering the diamond in the rough? We have been fortunate to have some luck but not as much as Dell Boy & Rodney!! Still looking! Ok, when we got married!! What are your hopes for the future? Our hopes for the future are to continue buying and selling quality objects and keeping our family fit, healthy and happy.
BECAUSE QUALITY MATTERS
