17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1988, we catch a glimpse of Teesside boss Bernard Roddam multitasking like a true professional. When he's not too busy running the show at Beta Electronics, Roddam takes matters into his own hands and whips out a hoover to keep overheads down. Alongside him are his dedicated partners Keith Thompson, Steve Klincke, and John Forde, who also contribute to the smooth operation of the business by taking on clerical work and answering phones. This snapshot perfectly encapsulates the entrepreneurial spirit of the 1980s when bosses were willing to roll up their sleeves and get their hands dirty for the success of their ventures. The sight of these accomplished businessmen engaging in cleaning duties highlights their commitment to keeping prices low for their printed circuit boards. The image serves as a reminder that success is not solely achieved through delegation but also through active participation in every aspect of one's enterprise. It showcases how these visionary leaders understood that no task was beneath them when it came to maintaining efficiency and profitability. As we admire this photograph today, we can appreciate the dedication and hard work put forth by Teesside boss Bernard Roddam and his partners during an era defined by its industriousness. Their willingness to go above and beyond exemplifies timeless values that continue to inspire entrepreneurs across generations.
