Sadly, given their current desire to sell off some of the family silver, it seems that - like much of what's left of British manufacturing - Axminster Carpets are finding business a little on the quiet side. However, given the results in a recent online survey, that claimed 85% of voters were in favour of the company's controversial plan to build 400 houses on Cloakham Lawns, I reckon things must be particularly bleak.
I mean, If the company can afford to have a member of their office staff spending their entire working day voting 'yes' to an unimportant survey on the local paper's website, then emptying their computer's cache, then voting 'yes' again, then emptying the cache again, then voting 'yes' again, then emptying the cache again (and so on and so on), business must be more quiet than I had feared!
Note to Axminster Carpets' lawyers: it's a joke.
Hello.
I'm Jane McIntyre, a Sony-winning BBC producer who asked to take the money and run. Now running, daily, and er... spending the money. Also, writing (recently runner-up in LateRooms travel blog competition) and working regularly as an 'extra' in TV, commercials and movies. Hurrah!

Stembridge are a graphic design and web design company based in Axminster, a small market town in Devon, famous for its carpet-making and, these days, River Cottage.
We’re small, friendly and unpretentious - a bit like Axminster itself - and specialise in corporate identity and brand development for businesses in East Devon, South Somerset and West Dorset.
That said, we can turn our mind to pretty much anything - apart from (maybe) lion-taming - including business stationery, promotional items, marketing advice, websites and print management. Our design work is all carried out in-house, including any copywriting - ensuring cohesive results that will always sound right, as well as look right.
