Advice on frames source

Can anyone in the UK advise on a supplier of exhibition quality black aluminium frames suitable for image presentation, that come as standard with pre-cut mounts?

I've previously had some from 4x90 but they were only small - 30 x 20cm or thereabouts, but the mounts were good quality, thick and cleanly cut, but unfortunately they seem not to do these any longer.

Ideally looking at a max frame size of 80 x 60, with various smaller versions.

I might end up sourcing frames and mounts separately - which is not a problem, but I thought I'd see i I could find package sets first to keep costs down.

Anyone help?

http://www.eframe.co.uk/ seem to tick all your boxes.
I've just ordered a load of oak frames from them - due on friday so can't comment on quality just yet. They've been very helpful so far though and their discounts for bulk orders are quite good.

Had a number of oak frames from eframe and all but one were very good and the one that wasn't was replaced without any fuss. Glass was a problem though and around 50% were broken by the courier in transit and we ended up agreeing not to order glass again but either to get that cut locally or use plastic.
