The economy is tough on many right now, including our small business. But we believe that we can't afford business as usual.

We recently recertified with 1% for the Planet for another year, committing to donate the equivalent of 1% of gross sales in monetary and in-kind donations.

Isn't every day you get to see your company printed on football club kit!

65% of Premier League clubs' main sponsors are gambling or airline companies. So, instead of sponsor logos, the Newark & Sherwood shirt reads "Supported by B Corps" along with the names of over 2,000 UK B Corps, including us!

We re-certified as a B Corp! 🎉

The value of B Corp for us is having a robust framework that helps us learn and grow in a positive way. Re-certification is a chance to review practices and inform where to focus efforts in the coming years.

30 years ago today, this interview with John Larkin was recorded along with a prog-jazz take on his biggest hit. You may know him as Scatman John. 🎶

“Aiming for 🌱 #Sustainability, however, is no longer enough. We need to seek a solution that heals as well as maintains … #RegenerativeDesign takes a significant step further.”
