A FAMILY framing business is beating the credit crunch and opening a gallery.

Victoria Prints was set up four years ago by father and son Graham Prince and Ian Sixsmith, from their home in Leyburn, North Yorkshire.

Since then, the business has expanded and moved to Colburn Business Park, where it now also sells military memorabilia, embroidery and bespoke presentation pieces.

On Saturday, the firm will open a gallery stocking television, sports and music memorabilia, as well as a heraldry centre where people can trace their family name and crest.

Mr Sixsmith said: “We have been so pleased with the way the company has developed over the past four years, and we believe this is because we offer a great service to the area’s military and civilian communities. We’re really looking forward to the gallery opening.”

The gallery will be open at Victoria Prints, from 9am to 5pm, and there will be a ten per cent discount on all items bought on Saturday.
