LION Product Guide

LION was founded in Birmingham in 1977 by my parents, Martin and Margaret Harrold. From small beginnings we now have a team of 50 people, all focused on providing the best possible service to our customers. We're always developing our product range to bring you great choice and great value.

Over the years we've used catalogues, trade shows and training courses to share our experience of products for picture framing. Now that so much of our knowledge base is online, we've created this Product Guide to help you find your way round our website and social media channels - I hope you find it interesting.
