Cotswold Needlecraft, this week unveiled a stunning new 1,600 sq ft store which is set to propel their business into an exciting new chapter in its history.

Established in 2004, initially trading from a very smart, but modest wooden kiosk at The Valley, the business has successfully adapted and grown its loyal customer base over the past 16-years.

That sustainable growth, together with the ambition from both its owners and landlords Eagle One, came to fruition this week with the official launch of its new branded store. As well as doubling its previous space to allow it to meet the growing demands of its customers, it will also offer visitors the chance to take part in crafty classes in a dedicated education area.

Phil Maclean, Marketing Director at The Valley, said: “It’s personally very satisfying seeing an independent business thriving. The success of Cotswold Needlecraft is built on strong foundations of delivering expert, friendly customer service that has attracted a dedicated and loyal following. Independents like these bring valuable diversity and differentiation alongside our national retail offerings. Welcoming Cotswold Needlecraft into an enhanced space has helped to further establish The Valley as a regional craft destination as well as cementing our commitment to helping develop independent businesses across our retail portfolio.”
Adam Spiers, owner of Cotswold Needlecraft, comments, “This is a proud week for us and we are delighted to grow the business further with the trust of Eagle One along with our loyal customers who have supported us over the years.”
