artgallery.co.uk has new owners

Mike & Aileen Mitchell have been running artgallery.co.uk since August 2008. They have been delighted with the progress of the business – the opportunities to manage the Knapp Gallery in Regent’s College, Regent’s Park, London and provide the artworks for the Malvern Theatres have provided new opportunities for artists and customers of this rapidly-growing on-line gallery. They are also keen to participate in Art Fairs and have agreed to take a stand at the Cambridge Art Fair 2009 which is based in the beautiful Chilford Hall Vineyard in rural Cambridgeshire. The Fair opens on the evening of Thursday 4th June for a Private Viewing and is open to the public from Friday the 5th to Sunday 7th June. Announcements of ArtGallery.co.uk’s presence at other Art Fairs will follow.

Mike & Aileen Mitchell live near Cirencester in the Cotswolds - Mike took early retirement from a major financial services business in the summer of 2008. Art-buying on-line is a growing sector and they are looking forward to building this business into the best on-line venue for the appreciation and purchase of original art.

They love ArtGallery.co.uk’s unique “test drive” facility which allows buyers to see the painting hanging on walls in rooms – these can be changed to simulate the buyers’ own house/office environment.

Aileen Mitchell, who loves art of all kinds, and has been responsible for the design and interior of several houses in the Cotswolds, is very excited about taking the business on to the next level, “Gordon Smith, the previous owner, created an excellent web-site and we are looking forward to working with artists and growing our customer base to build a very substantial business”.

The business has seen record sales in the opening few months of the year despite the difficult economic climate and more changes to the website will be made in the next few months to benefit artists and customers.

Mike & Aileen have a 13 year old daughter, Hannah and Mike has two grown-up daughters Helen and Claire.

Mike & Aileen also have a villa on the beautiful Boavista Golf & Country Club, near Lagos on the Algarve. The villa is available for rent, see it here http://www.holidaylettings.co.uk/rentals/lagos/8849 - any artist or customer of ArtGallery.co.uk can get a 10% discount on the quoted rates.
