Purveyors of the finest decorative lights, Abbeygate Lighting has been in operation for over 40 years. Encompassing a vast range of products across its three showrooms in Bury St Edmunds, Norwich and Felixstowe, the business prides itself on a personal touch centred on shining customer service. “Whether you’re looking for a crystal chandelier or simply trying to find the right light bulb, our priority is to ensure each and every customer finds exactly what they need,” says director Sarah Gooch. Originally founded by her parents in 1979, Abbeygate remains a family-run business, with Sarah and her sister Hannah heavily involved in its day-to-day operations. While the shop’s website showcases a selection of quality products, an in-store visit gets you the full experience. “We have seen how customer service has fallen in many businesses, but at Abbeygate it remains our priority,” Sarah adds. With an extensive selection of world-leading lighting brands, the business stands out for bespoke lampshades, modification and restoration services designed for all lighting needs. @abbeygatelighting | abbeygatelighting.co.uk BRIGHT SPARKS Abbeygate Lighting
PREMIER PROTECTION
JULES STURGESS AUTOMOTIVE
South Cambs-based Jules Sturgess Automotive has been established for over ten years, run by Jules and his wife Ruth. The company, built with a family ethos in mind, recently moved to a new facility thanks to its growth. Its core business is the application of PPF – a physical barrier to protect from stone chips, preserving the visual appeal of a car’s paint job – and decals. With its expertise in the field and customer-centric approach, the company has built a reputation as the premier car paint protection provider in Cambridgeshire. Here, it’s all about relationships built on trust, communication and integrity. Jules Sturgess stands apart from the hoard of PPF providers with its commitment to protecting the pride and joy of car enthusiasts: their vehicles. @julessturgessautomotive julessturgessautomotive.co.uk
