HOME PROJECT PERFECTION
CAMBRIDGE STOVE INSTALLATIONS
Founded by Jamie Osbourne-Briggs, CSI has been Cambridgeshire’s trusted specialist in all things fires and flues for almost ten years. The small but highly productive team specialises in a range of services, from fireplaces to wood-burning stoves and total room transformations. The Cottenham-based showroom displays an extensive range of products, fires and stones, although Jamie and his team work across the whole of Cambridgeshire and have even had referrals as far as London, St Albans and Surrey. No matter the project, CSI prides itself on providing a personal touch, working closely with clients to achieve total satisfaction – so much so that the majority of business comes from word of mouth referrals. “My favourite part of our work is meeting new customers and either transforming their living spaces with wonderful focal points or looking after their fireplaces year on year,” explains Jamie. A proudly local business, CSI is a regular supporter of charity and sporting events, and also offers a heroes discount of 5%. Through its work with the charity Cambridge Past, Present & Future, CSI pays to plant and
maintain trees with every installation. @cambridge_stove_installations cambridgefireplaces.co.uk
CROWNING JEWEL Baker Brothers
As Bedfordshire’s premier destination for luxury jewellery and watches, Baker Brothers boasts a 180-year legacy of excellence – the past 15 of which have seen the business thrive as the region’s sole official Rolex retailer. With a reputation for exceptional customer service, the family-run boutique became one of the earliest gemstone specialists to source directly from Antwerp, the diamond capital of the world. Every single gemstone undergoes rigorous selection and quality assessment before gracing its Bedford storefront. Baker Brothers continues to garner awards for its exceptional offerings, catering for an array of budgets and tastes. The boutique’s range extends beyond diamonds with services including bespoke designs and repurposing family heirlooms. “We want our customers to come back for generations to come – and they do – because we are there to guide you through the whole process,” says boutique manager Clare. Baker Brothers empowers customers to make informed choices by talking them through the four Cs of diamonds (colour, clarity, cut and carat), working with them to find a piece that reflects their story and style. @bakerbrothersdiamonds | bakerbrothersdiamonds.com
