“We aim to be the largest bricks and mortar antiques centre in Europe with the largest website,” says Robert Miller, managing director of Hemswell Antique Centres.
The centres, near Gainsborough in Lincolnshire, attract more than a quarter of a million visitors every year.
They have 300-plus dealers trading from four buildings on the site. The selection of stock on the centres’ website runs to more than 3200 listed items, and this will rise to 5000 in the next few months.
