It’s been a busy summer at Normans! Our Director’s son is helping out in the warehouse and our Warehouse Manager’s daughter is showing off her drumming skills in the photo studio. 🎶🤩 Exciting to see the next gen getting involved! Who knows, they might be future Normans recruits! 😎

When an instrument’s last note fades… it can still shine 💡🎺
Our ReTune scheme helps turn end-of-life instruments into beautiful lamps, with the help of Meon Lights, a small business based in Hampshire. ♻️ More info: www.normans.co.uk/retune

We hosted the NAMIR AGM last week in Burton! 🎺🛠️ Repairers browsed instruments from our ReTune scheme, using their skills to bring them back to life.

Nick had some great chats with members on the day and we can’t wait to see where these newly repaired instruments end up.

Thanks to Norman's ReTune, non-profit scheme, our instruments and cases will be reused or recycled: cases are shredded to make MDF wood, and instruments are used for everything from spare parts/scrap metal to being turned into lamps thanks to Normans partnership with themeonlights.co.uk
