Acomb Store Home Cinema Make-over

WE ARE USED to assisting our customers get the look they want for their home cinema room but this time it was Paul our Acomb store manager who wanted a new look for displaying large screen entertainment and home theatre surround sound.

Showcasing the latest 4K Ultra high definition LED television technology (when it arrives!) and a selection of home cinema equipment including SONOS, Sony and Panasonic the space will allow you to see and hear what's possible in your own home.


We tasked Phil our joiner to creat a standard stud wall system to include a reveal to suit a 65" LED TV and a cupboard to house amplifiers, a bluray and IR control system. Below you can see the final touches being added as one of our talented salesmen, John adds the wall paper to give the final effect.

With interest in home cinema, sound bars and "hidden hi-fi (in-ceiling speakers, receivers and players hidden out of sight)" on the rise the demonstration area will allow our clents to visualise their own ideas  with ease. Please call in for a chat to see how you could benefit.

London to Paris Charity Bike Ride

A HUGE thank you to all our customers and suppliers (Hoover, Panasonic, Siemens, Belling, Hotpoint, Lliebherr, Sony, AB Electrical and Bosch) who have generously donated to see David complete this epic journey to the land of cheese and garlic. David has been in training completing the Blenhiem Triathalon and assorted other challenges over the last six months and sets off today to raise even more money for the Hospice of St Francis.

Between all the participants over £160K has been raised so far to go to charity with David personally raising over £1500. If you would like to donate before he finishes on Saturday the 6th July please go to http://www.doitforcharity.com/DTodd


DAY 1 is a casual 90 miles from London to Dover and gives David a chance to don his new lycra shorts! Here he is at 6am ready for action!

David Todd - early start for London Paris Bike Ride

DAY 2 after 48 miles of "undulations" and constant drizzle it's time for lunch. Clearly French weather forecasting is as good as the English! The boys are very happy to report a cracking lunch (preumably with cheese and garlic) and pass on their thanks to all the supports including many French locals who have turned out to cheer them on.

DAY 3 Lunch stop. After 37 moles this morning passing through poppy covered battle fields it's time for a rest in a very picturesque French town with the most fantastic local football pitch. 206 miles completed with just over 100 to go. Hoping to reach Beauvais for overnight in time to see Murray spank the Pole at Wimbledon.

The most picturesque local football pitch in France?

DAY 4 - THE FINAL PUSH 

En Route to the Arc de Triumph

Another 60 miles cycled and the final run in to Paris is in sight! Thankfully a motorised escort vehicle is on hand to assist our passage into the city. Over 120 cyclists dressed in yellow were quite a sight and it was great to have so many well wishers wave us on during the final leg...

TOTAL RAISED BY DAVID £2285 - A HUGE Thank you to all our sponsors!!!
