Why did you choose to enter Gift of the Year 2021 and has the competition helped boost your brand in the past?
We won an award for Children's Gift of the Year 2019 and it helped to build our profile credibility at a time when we were really only just starting out.
Has your business been affected by Covid-19?
We saw a sharp increase in orders when they announced that schools were shutting in March. It was a rollercoaster time but I'm very proud of how we managed, and that we were able to employ 6 new members of staff into our packing team
What changes have you made as a result?
We already worked entirely flexibly and virtually so there was little disruption in that respect, but we are updating our operating procedures to take account of the huge growth we've seen this year
