We're heartbroken for the wonderful Ashwin family of Hill Farm Furniture Ltd that their beautiful showroom, and the years of hard work and effort they put into it, was destroyed by a fire yesterday. Many of you will know that Hill Farm have been our neighbours at Burghley for 14 years and they have always been so wonderfully supportive of Charley Chau, and indeed showed us the ropes when we first arrived and had no idea what we were doing. Only on Saturday we had our annual Burghley party with Mike, Jo, Chris and Carolyn on their beautiful show stand. For them to go pack down and go home and this to happen is beyond devastating.
For those of you who don't know Hill Farm, they are a family-owned and run bespoke kitchen and furniture maker, based near Newark. Simply British design and craftsmanship at its finest.
The Ashwins are the most amazing, loving, and talented family, and although this horrific situation has been forced on them under such terrible circumstances, I know they will re-build that beautiful showroom and Hill Farm will continue to go from strength to strength.
I'm aware that this may sound trite at such a terrible time but please follow Hill Farm here on FB or on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/hillfarmfurniture/) and give them your support as they work through this awful situation.
