Just got back from my Charity Cycle challenge in aid of Help For Heros. I managed to complete the challenge, but physically, this was the hardest thing I have ever undertaken. The first two cycling days were in the rain forests of Panama mainly uphill and all in driving and relentless rain. The rain continued […]
As I write this, I’ve just finished totting up the orders and new accounts we’ve been opening as a result of our attendance at the first Branded Furniture Show in Solihull. It’s been a very well marketed and organised event and has delivered a very satisfactory return on investment. Reaction to our latest promotional range, […]
Like many of our retail customers, we approach the end of the summer season with a mix of anticipation and trepidation. We are all keeping our fingers (and toes!) crossed that footfall and sales will pick up a bit as they traditionally do at this time of year – but none of us is holding […]

You’ll have noticed by now our lovely, re-designed website pop over to this site. We think it looks really smart and we’re particularly excited about the brand new feature of the Stockist Finder. Before, any consumer interested in knowing where to buy our products had to send me an email and wait for me to […]
