Bringing People Together ~ since 1999 ~
It’s been a milestone year for Talking Tables as we celebrate our 25th birthday. Talking Tables is all about bringing people together and it was so rewarding to see familiar faces from both the past and present – from former team members to suppliers who have been with us almost since the beginning – at our get-together. We’re planning on making many new friends in the coming year as we get out to more shows, both in the UK and beyond. I hope to catch up with you at one of them.
This season, I have an exciting new initiative to share as we continue our journey. We have put our B Corp sustainability credentials to work to create Gift Kindly – a comprehensive collection of design-led and ecologically conscious gift wrapping and accessories. We believe it’s the first collection of its kind and that, with consumers increasingly mindful of their impact on the environment, it will be a positive and popular choice this Christmas. It’s coordinated to sit alongside some of our best selling collections, and also works as a standalone in a gift wrapping section.
We also continue to make progress in terms of the impact of our established collections on the environment. The games team are really pleased to share that all the new AW24 games are single-use plastic free and have recycled packaging.
Wishing you a happy and prosperous season.
