Interesting programe about Toye of Toye Kenning and Spencer

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b03qlp97

Fiona Toye married into a family that has been making regalia for generations, including OBEs for the Royal Family. The film follows Fiona as she steers this traditional company through the 21st century.

It was an interesting programme and good to see that it's still a "family-run firm".

Was a bit of a shock when I walked down GQS the other day and saw the empty shop

I think all the big Regalia Guys are having to tighten their belts. And shops are a big expense.

They've moved the shop and the offices above it round to Russel Court (about 10-15 minutes walk)
Just leave Central Regalia and the shop in FMH as the sole suppliers on GQS

As Bill says, a physical premises is an expensive overhead these days
