April 2009 (The Beginning)

A father and son team with over 38 years full time experience between us. We are only newly established, but don't let that worry you. Adelaide Annexe & Canvas is up and running and ready to fill your canvas needs.

Martin started his canvas career in 1970 working school holiday periods until 1976 and has been working full time in the industry since then. He has worked in 5 different establishments over the years plus 11 years as co-owner of Complete Canvas at Lonsdale SA. Experienced in all facets of the business from cutting, sewing and the production side of things, to sales, purchasing and many years as Office Manager and Operations Manager of one of the larger canvas manufacturers. Now back in the production area, he will bring the benefit of those many years of experience to the company's clients.

Andrew also started during school holiday times from about the age of 13 and at 24, has now been cutting full time for 5 years. Having specialised in cutting and installing Caravan Annexes and Roll Out Awning Walls over the past 4 years Andrew will use that knowledge to ensure the quality and timeliness of our Caravan based products.

Our head machinist is Robyn, who has 22 years of sewing experience and has specialised in Annexes and Walls for the past 10 years. She will keep the quality high and deliver a product that you will be proud to own. (Robyn has left now , we would like to thank her for her efforts over our first couple of years)

The company also has the services of Chris in our office who has many years experience in all aspects of sales and office procedures, she will be the friendly voice on the end of the phone and will endeavour to help with any enquiries that you may have.

So this is the Adelaide Annexe and Canvas team. We hope we can serve your canvas needs in the near future.

December 2010 (Update)

With steady growth thanks to our growing list of clients and customers, Adelaide Annexe and Canvas now has a staff of nine and is able to serve the public even more than before ... We now have number two son 'Stephen' joining us (not a stranger to the canvas trade, stephen had worked during school holiday times for many years), he is a qualified motor mechanic and as such brings lots of practical hands on experience to the company.

Our sewing staff now includes, Julie, Marilyn and Sue ... all highly experienced and competent machinists who are ready to pump out lots of quality canvas goods for you.

Jamie-Lee now joins Chris in our office and will help you with any enquiries you may have.

Plus we are moving to larger premises just next door. In late January 2011 you will find us at 19 Woodlands Terrace instead of 21. We need more room and a few more parking spots so feel free to visit and have us fill you canvas needs.

So this is now the Adelaide Annexe and Canvas team. We hope we can still serve your canvas needs in the near future.
