We've decided to divest from twitter/x as it doesn't align with our value system and ethics, personally and as a business.

We haven’t tweeted much this year, as like everyone else, COVID has given us time to pause.

If you’re buying ethically this #Christmas please buy a tree for @treesforlifeuk grove in Scotland 🌲🌳🌲

Our latest blog post is about how we're giving back to nature with the help of @treesforlifeuk 🌳

Planting trees is fantastic, but we know we can go further and do more and have big plans. In the meantime help us grow our grove 😀

We now offer a round cornering service suited to small and medium runs, and wire-bound booklets which are slow to ram punch but fast to round corner. Now you can cut corners beautifully!
