A bittersweet day for us today as we completed the move to our new workshop but with a heavy heart, we said our final goodbyes to our good friend Lee Austin.
Lee was the very first interior designer that I ever worked with and was a massive advocate for our product. It was through his amazing projects that really put Artizan Fabrications on the map. Without his influence and support, I’m really not sure where we would be today and for that I will always be eternally grateful to him.
Over the years our relationship became more than client and supplier, we became friends. Not a week went by where we didn’t call each other for a chat (usually to vent about something or other) and every single time I felt better when the call ended than what I did when it began.
I am honoured and privileged to have known this kind, intelligent, loyal and funny guy. The world will now be a duller place without him in it and I for one will miss him dearly.
I’d like to take this opportunity to pass on our sincere condolences to Lee’s devoted husband Mark, his parents, his brother Chris, and wider family circle and also to his team at Lee Austin Design. May his memory provide you with comfort in the days and weeks ahead.
❤️❤️❤️
Andrew.
