SMP Lace
http://www.smplace.co.uk
SMP was first registered in 1964 by Sheila Perrin as a manufacturing company producing computer accessories.
In 1976, Mrs Doreen Wright founded The Lace Guild and in searching out craftsmen to supply equipment for lacemakers she encouraged the young Nicholas Perrin to make bobbins.
He subsequently attended Bucks College in High Wycombe to study furniture making and graduated having written his thesis on the history and manufacture of lace bobbins.
The moulding of polystyrene furniture components was included in his studies with the result that SMP developed the first of many moulds for lace pillow manufacture. In 1977 the name was changed to SMP Lace and we have been exclusively supplying lacemakers with a wide range of materials and equipment ever since.
