Supporting Master Craftsmanship: Heron IT’s Partnership with Iris Carr Restorations and Deben Joinery

At Heron IT, we take immense pride in supporting the businesses that are the backbone of our community. Two of these businesses are Iris Carr Restorations and Deben Joinery, both of which have earned acclaim for their exquisite craftsmanship. We provide essential IT support and secure email solutions to ensure their operations run smoothly, allowing them to focus on their artistry.

Iris Carr Restorations: Reviving Antique Violins with Precision

Iris Carr, a master luthier, is an expert in the world of violin restoration. Trained at the prestigious Newark School of Violin Making in Notinghamshire, Iris honed her skills at Charles Beare’s shop in London, one of the world’s leading dealers of fine antique violins. Today, from her workshop in Suffolk, she breathes new life into some of Europe’s rarest and most valuable instruments, including Stradivaris and Guarneris.

Iris’s dedication to preserving the original wood and varnish of each piece she restores is a testament to her meticulous attention to detail. Her expertise in neck grafts, detailed retouching, and crack repair has made her a sought-after luthier by leading violin dealers. Additionally, Iris shares her knowledge through professional courses across Europe, Japan, and the US, as well as online classes that became particularly popular during Covid-19.

At Heron IT, we are privileged to provide IT support and secure email services to Iris Carr Restorations. Our collaboration ensures that Iris can maintain communication with her international clients and students without any technological hindrances. It’s a pleasure to contribute to the seamless operation of a workshop where history and craftsmanship are intertwined so beautifully.

Deben Joinery: Crafting Bespoke Timber Pieces

Tony Carr, Iris’s husband, is the force behind Deben Joinery, one of Suffolk’s leading bespoke timber manufacturers. From doors and windows to unique furniture pieces, Tony’s work reflects his passion for precision and quality. After starting as a joiner’s apprentice and later rekindling his love for violins, Tony has built a reputation for creating stunning pieces that combine functionality with artistry.

When Deben Joinery faced a data compromise two years ago, Heron IT stepped in to restore and secure their systems. Since then, we have provided ongoing IT support, ensuring their operations are protected from future threats. Our team’s dedication to safeguarding their data has allowed Tony and his team to focus on their craft without worrying about technical issues.
