Source for stretchers sought

For the last number of years I have been using stretchers made by
the Norfolk-based stretcher maker Richard Manning, unfortunately he
has had to suspend his operation very recently.

I was always very happy with the type and quality of stretchers
supplied by Richard, which is why I have continued using him.
However, now he has suspended his business, I was wondering what my
alternatives are with regards wooden stretcher makers within the UK,
who make stretchers of a similar quality that other UK conservators
have used in the past and would recommend.
