Many thanks again to all those who applied for our Sales, Marketing and Customer Service Coordinator post recently. We really were fortunate in the quality of the applications we received.

We can now announce that Rob Marsh is going to be joining our little team in this new position. Rob is very much a people person, and we're sure our customers are going to love him.

Rob will be introducing himself here on his own section of the website when he joins at the end of September, so watch this space…

This week another two branches of John Lewis are all set-up with our splashbacks. Customers at John Lewis in Southampton and John Lewis in High Wycombe can see in-situ displays and place orders. John Lewis, Oxford Street, London will follow this month!

This is how the display in the Southampton branch looks.

The splashback is in "Fire" from our Wave Collection. I love the Elica extractor hood in front!

I’ve been itching to get down to the beach with some of my latest pieces and have a play around with the camera to see what sort of pictures I could get. The boss let me have a few hours off at the weekend, so I took myself off down to Whitesands. I did get a few strange looks! Here are some of the results anyway…

If you’re in or around St David’s this summer, call in to the studio. If I’m not there I’m probably at Whitesands :)

There’s always so much to do here at Steve Robinson Glass, so we’ve decided to take someone on to help us. This will bring our little team up to four. It’s a brand new role but as we’re not big on job titles, the best description we can come up with is ‘Sales, Marketing and Customer Service Coordinator’. Previous experience in the glass sector is not important because this job is all about being a great communicator with an outgoing personality - after all, you’ll be helping some very important people - our customers!

If this sounds like the perfect job for you and you’d like to find out more, please email me (Hannah) for an application pack, which contains a full job description, a person specification and details of how to apply. Closing date for return of applications is Friday, 23rd July 2010.

I'm really chuffed to have ‘collected Gold’ in the Glass category of the 2010 Craft & Design Awards. We have won quite a few awards over the eight or so years we have been crafting in glass, but we always take immense satisfaction from the fact that our work is being recognised, awarded and praised. We think our work just gets better and better - and so evidently do they!

Huge thanks to all who voted for my work. If you're interested in reading more about the awards, have a look at the website www.craftanddesign.net.

Many of you will have arrived at this website via our sister website rupertscott.com. Rupert Scott has been the trading name for all our glass splashbacks and glass tiles since we started out in business in 2002. We can’t quite remember why we chose the name but it seemed like a good idea at the time. Well, Steve & I have decided that with the growing recognition of the ‘Steve Robinson Glass’ brand, we should take the opportunity of simplifying things and put all our products under one name. Now, all our products and designs can be seen on this one website, here for glass splashbacks, here for glass tiles and here for contemporary glass art.

So, as of 31st May 2010 we are putting dear old Rupert into retirement. He has served us well and will be fondly remembered.

Frequent visitors to our website have probably noticed that we have changed the design quite radically. We wanted something we could take full control of ourselves, rather than bothering the web designer every five minutes. We also wanted to make more visual impact with our splashbacks, tiles and glass art. We found this local chap who seemed to understand what we wanted to achieve - little did he know what he was letting himself in for...

There are still a few loose ends with the website, so please bear with us while we sort these out. After that, we will be able to update info as often as we need, so you will always be able to see our latest designs, read our news and take advantage of our special offers.
