About Us
It all started over 40 years ago!!
Back in 1970 William Frost joined a local bird club to start a hobby in breeding and showing budgerigars. After a few years of showing his birds at club shows Bill was asked by committee members if he would take the role of organising & ordering the club's rosettes and trophies. After gathering quotes from different rosette companies, Bill could not believe how expensive the awards were. So, to save the club some money Bill with the help of Joan, thought he would make a few rosettes for the club himself.
An upholsterer at the time, Bill started to piece together the tools of a completely new trade, buying 1-2 yrds of ribbon from market stools, pleating ribbon at home on a small sewing machine and buying blank discs from a local craft shop. After many many months and some very very long nights Bill & Joan had made their first few rosettes... the show came and the club loved them.
Recommendation after recommendation soon followed, more and more clubs were asking Bill and Joan if they could supply them with rosettes, until there was no hours left in the day. What should Bill do? Holding a good job at the time and starting a young family did he need this extra worry? Despite advice from family and friends Bill decided to take the plunge, quit his job and make rosettes his full time commitment - and Frost's Rosettes was born.
Since 1970 things have progressed a long way, Frost's now use around 20000m of ribbon every week. Both Bill and Joan have great input into the day to day running of the business and still deal with some of their very earliest customers. The everyday running has been passed over to their two sons, Grant & Glenn; who both left school nearly 18yrs ago and came straight into the family business. Even at the age of 5 both Glenn & Grant could be found helping Bill with orders!!
