Recently a member recommended trimmer that supplied seat upholstery kits for an RP. I utilized the advanced search but was unable to find him.
Can someone advise a trimmer that I can purchase new seat kits?

I just googled Byan and found this on the site :- 5th April 2022
Unfortunately we must announce that the business is now closed; due to the passing of Bryan, following his long battle with Cancer.
Stock items may still be available by email request to bryanpurvesstock@gmail.com, but please be aware that we cannot guarantee response times to these enquiries.
We would like to take the opportunity to thank his many long standing customers for your custom and friendship over the years.

That is very sad news indeed, I knew Bryan was struggling with cancer, but he battled on as if everything was normal and he gave me some great advice.
Sadly, I imagine I have one, if not the last trim kit, which I have to say is coming along beautifully and ten times better than I could have done.

We share a lot of projects with Simon Laxton and I can vouch for the superb quality of his work. We shall be running a joint trade stand with him at the Centenary Event.
