Golden Valley Hobbies moves to new home

In order to hold more stock in the UK and be able to dispatch orders to Customers very quickly, the Company has now moved to new larger premises on the Isle of Wight. Early opening hours, 5 days a week, have also been implemented to help with the Retailers‘ availability.

“Fiona has grown Golden Valley Hobbies to be an established and recognised Distributor to model shops in the UK. She has definitely earned the right to retire and we hope to do her justice with our future management and development of the business,” said Shelley Williams. “We now offer extended support to Retailers by being available earlier in the day so they can reach us before opening their Shops. Other changes will be forthcoming in the next few weeks and months to allow us to work even more closely with Model Shops.”

Golden Valley Hobbies distributes more than ten brands of model railways items. With brands ranging from continental scenery suppliers Busch, Vollmer, Kibri, Tillig and Auhagen to British signalling specialists Eckon and Berko to American lubricant manufacturers Labelle and exclusive.
