Spring Newsletter 2022 Hello and welcome to the Spring Edition of the Abacus Creative Resources newsletter. I’d like to take this opportunity to wish you all the best for 2022. It’s been a busy few months here at HQ! We’ve seen the launch of our brand-new Blue Acorn ecommerce site. Blue Acorn products have always been a quality staple in our student kits and stocked in carefully selected retailers throughout the UK and now it is available to everyone online! Head over to createwithblueacorn.co.uk and take a look around! We have also, for the first time in Abacus Creative Resources history, made all our prices visible on our website. It is our mission to be able to support our customers in whatever way we can and we believe this transparent approach is one way to achieve this! We are on an exciting creative journey here at Abacus Creative Resources but it is with your constant support we continue to learn and grow, so thank you! Creative regards Roy Swindell

The wellbeing of all our employees is a top priority at Abacus Creative Resources. We know that promoting wellbeing and fostering a positive working environment can reduce stress and boost engagement. But apart from an additional days annual leave for birthdays and copious amounts of free Yorkshire Tea, how do we do this? • Through open and honest communication from the Directors during our daily staff huddles and Managers Meetings. • Regular performance reviews and one to one discussions evaluating career goals and training needs. • We are a living wage employer and as well as monetary reward we also invest in non-financial recognition through our monthly ‘shout-out’ scheme. • Promotion of personal physical safety through training, safe working practices and safe equipment. • Encourage collaborative working, respect and consultation on decisions from all employees. • Regular creative activities to promote fun and foster positive working relationships. We also understand the importance of both mental and physical health. Moving forward, it is our aim as a business to provide healthy snacks, promote more physical activity, manage stress and ensure a good work/ life balance.

Product Spotlight Drawing Cartridge Paper Here at Abacus Creative Resources, we want to be the “one stop shop” for creative people and we are very excited to be showcasing our James Cropper cartridge paper from our Abacus Creative Essentials range. Samples of our 140gsm, 170gsm and 220gsm cartridge paper are being given out to the first 100 orders in March. The high quality, acid-free paper with a matt white surface is designed specifically for illustration and drawing. The slightly toothy surface texture makes this paper ideal for work with graphite, coloured pencils and charcoal. Our Cartridge paper can be found online at www.abacusresources.co.uk.
