A Family Run Company Established in 1973 Serving The Gilding And Decorative Industries Ken Rees - Founder of Gold Leaf Supplies Ken Rees Founder In 2023 we will be celebrating our 50th year in business. Phew! Over the years, we have built a reputation for supplying high-quality products with an equally high level of service. We are passionate about gilding and specialist decoration techniques and we love to hear about your projects. At Gold Leaf Supplies we pride ourselves on our innovative approach to servicing the gilding and decorative trades. We are always exploring ways of expanding our services and seeking new horizons through interesting and exciting product ranges. Sue Govani - Director of Gold Leaf Supplies Sue Govani Director Steve Rees - Director of Gold Leaf Supplies Steve Rees Director Company History Gold Leaf Supplies is a family business, which was established as Services Supply Company in 1973 by Mr Ken Rees who was a senior partner in the business. Although Ken retired in 2008, he still had an involvement in the Company until his peaceful passing in May 2018. Having worked in the Italian Marble business for many years, Ken initially set up the business to supply gold leaf and associated products to the stone trade. The main emphasis being on offering an exceptionally high level of service and personal contact. Since 1973, our client base has expanded and diversified considerably, and we have increased our product range accordingly to meet our clients’ needs. We now cater to a diversified range of National and International clients involved in gilding, signwriting, glass manufacture, bookbinding, furniture restoration and manufacture, framing, interiors, architectural decoration, specialist decorating and monumental carving to name but a few. You can view examples of the prestigious projects that we have supplied for in our client gallery As the emphasis of the business changed so did the Company trading name - to Gold Leaf Supplies. From 1st March 2008, we became a Limited Company - Services Supply Company Ltd T/A Gold Leaf Supplies. Although the product range has diversified, and the company has grown, the philosophy introduced in 1973 has remained the same - "We offer quality products at competitive prices and a continuing high level of service." The business remains within the family and Kens’ son, Steve Rees and daughter, Sue Govani joined the company in 1989 and 1991 respectively. Steve has a background in Business whilst Sue’s background is in Art and Design bringing different skills and ideas to the business. Both are Company Directors and very hands on with the day to day running of the business. Steve is mainly involved with the purchasing and logistics. He has a memory like a filing cabinet and a sound technical knowledge relating to gilding techniques. When he has any free time, you will find him on the ski slopes or out walking with his beloved dogs.

Our Team It is important to receive your raw materials on time and we appreciate the tight deadlines that most businesses work to, therefore for approved accounts, most of our products are despatched the day instructions are received and delivered on a next day delivery basis. Where large projects are involved, supplies can be scheduled on a phased delivery. One of our strengths is that we can and have often been called upon to supply large quantities at short notice. Our prime objective is not only to supply, but also to provide a full service to our clients and our team makes every effort to ensure this objective is achieved. We have knowledgeable staff who are always on hand to offer advice and we respond quickly to any enquiries that you may have. Please feel free to contact us at any time.

Description Philosophy Diploma The Philosophy Diploma course deals with all the leading schools of philosophy, including Materialism, Idealism, Rationalism, Introspection, Skepticism, Empiricism, and other schools in modern philosophy and all the other significant thoughts that have existed throughout history. The discussion within the Philosophy Diploma course includes four paths of understanding philosophy- doctrines or branches, movements, periods, and different philosophers' contributions. Each concept will be discussed to have the related philosophical terms that play a role in describing the concepts. The course begins with an introduction to philosophy by explaining what it means and includes. The introduction also has the benefits of studying the subject of philosophy. After this, the course discusses each primary philosophical theory and the relationship between metaphysics, religion, and philosophy. The Philosophy Diploma course covers a chronology of all great philosophers, highlighting their most significant periods, ideas, and social achievements. A glossary that includes all essential philosophical terminologies is a part of the course that will ensure that students do not face any confusion right from the beginning. After giving a brief introduction and laying down the basics of philosophy, the course goes on to discuss different theories that are influential today in the field of philosophy, starting with idealism and materialism, then moving on to stoicism, empiricism, rationalism, existentialism, scepticism, and then to modern philosophy. This Philosophy Diploma course may be thought of as purely academic, to unravel and comprehend the most critical thoughts of some of the world's most notable philosophers and the ideologies they propagated and lived by. The knowledge you will gain through this course can be used as a basis for deciding whether or not you want to pursue further studies in the field of philosophy. Make the most of this diploma course in philosophy by being open to absorbing the information that will enhance your thinking abilities, questioning the structure of the world, and developing your interpretation of life from there. By applying this method, you can create a philosophy of your own instead of blindly following ideologies that do not let you make individual choices. The Philosophy Diploma course in Philosophy will also help build and improve debating and analytical skills.
