Read the press release

I know you are all eager to know who is taking over the shop in April when we retire so here you go a lovely introduction from the lady herself.

Hello everyone!
I am delighted to announce that I will be taking over Axholme Decorating Centre from April 2023.

Let me introduce myself and tell you a little about my background.
My name is Kathryn Sturrock and some of you may already know me (or know of me) from the shopping channel Create and Craft of which I am currently a Presenter and a Guest Demonstrator.
I have worked at the T.V studios in Peterborough for many years and present live tv shows which can be seen on various channels and platforms.
Prior to my tv career and since 2008 , I owned and ran a craft shop in Doncaster where I also held regular workshops.

I have a huge passion for the crafting industry and also for upcycling and decorating furniture and homewares (I am a huge Frenchic Fan!)
I love interior design and home decor.

I also love to meet and get to know people and I have a lot of experience with dealing with the general public, suppliers and other companies.
Throughout my working life I have run many different types of workshops and I hope to expand on this at Axholme Decorating Centre in the future.

I have been a regular customer of Jill and Dave for a number of years now and have got to know them and their fabulous shop very well.

Why spoil a good thing?
I intend to continue running the shop and business as Jill and Dave have done for the past 11 years, but allowing for my own spin on things too.

I hope that you will join me in wishing Jill and Dave a very happy retirement and that you will continue to support the shop and business once I have taken over the reins.
I am sure that it won’t be the last you see of Jill and Dave when April comes around either. They will be popping in to see you all I’m certain!

I promise that I will work hard and do my very best to serve the community of Epworth and surrounding areas.
I am very excited about the future, although a little nervous!

I cannot wait to meet you all very soon!

Best Wishes
Kathryn xx
