About Us

How it all began for us..

Back in the old days, long before “Salvage Hunter” was a twinkle in a TV producers’ eye, enamel lampshades were hanging plentifully in decaying factories and mills across the country. There was a small demand for supply and restoration of these shades from niche places like vintage car enthusiasts, heritage railways and the like. Having feet in both camps our MD, Harry started out in the comfort of his shed repairing old lamps mainly as favours for others.

As word spread the work increased and the business grew from purely restoration to supplying others until finally the 2008 recession gave him the unexpected push he needed to go full time and the rest is history!
