Next time you are at Manly Wharf – come in to our Villa & Hut store and check out the wonderful piece of art painted by one of our tribe – Angie Pollock.  This original mural is located at the back of the counter area within the store, and took Angie about 8 weeks to complete.  With a bit of luck – you will also find her working the shop floor!   This amazing fresco is a credit to Angie, and a wonderful backdrop to our beautiful Manly store.  Thank you Angie – and we all hope that one day your art becomes a collectors item! – Franz Madlener

Angie Pollack who works at Villa & Hut is also an inspiring artist.  She was given the brief to create a mural at Villa & Hut Manly Wharf, Sydney that would encapsulates the essence of Villa & Hut but also reflects it’s location at one of the most scenic places in the world Manly, Sydney.

So in her own words…………

We just received this email from a customer who took the time out of their busy day to tell us about the excellent customer service from Todd Drinnan at Villa & Hut SouthWharf, Melbourne.  Keep up the good work Todd!

Hi,

Just wanted to comment on the excellent service I received at your South Wharf store on the 5/6/06 from Todd in regard to the item I purchased the next day via telephone after checking the measurements to assure  it would fit.  Just to say Todd was great to deal with and also want to mention how friendly and helpful the delivery driver was also when delivering the cabinet.

Very happy customer and will be back for more.

Regards Lou
