Countryside Timber Windows, which was founded by Edward Burgess in Felixstowe in 1996, opened its showroom at Hall Farm Park, in Fornham St Martin, in July.

"We were doing a lot of our work in the villages around Bury St Edmunds and the opportunity to open a showroom here came along," said John Lay, who runs the showroom. "We are finding a lot of people investing in their property rather than moving," he said."
