It was pleasure to host the Department for Transport (DfT), United Kingdom's Local Authority Forum at our Preston Brook site yesterday. We welcomed representatives from over 25 Local Authorities and had the privilege of hearing from the Minister for the Future of Roads, Lilian Greenwood – and the sun even decided to make an appearance! The event focused on the Blue Badge production process and the complexities involved, with the group getting a tour around our secure facility to see the making of the badges in action. It was also a great opportunity to network with peers and take learnings from different organisations, a fantastic day all round. #BlueBadge #DfT #Networking #Makemorepossible

What a great start to the week - Print Marketplace has been shortlisted for the Sustainable Procurement Award at the UK National GO Awards 2025! The online print buying platform is a compliant Crown Commercial Service framework and was built with sustainability in mind, so it's fantastic to be recognised for helping public sector organisations meet their environmental goals. #sustainableprinting #publicprocurement #GOAwards

We're delighted to share a very exciting project that went live over the weekend! Working in partnership with Double Take Projections some of the very best of Scotland's art was showcased in a spectacular fashion, illuminating the Edinburgh skyline on behalf of the National Galleries of Scotland. Amazing to see some favourite pieces....Edinburgh's best-known stag, famous faces like Sir Chris Hoy and The Proclaimers, along with The Skating Minister all lighting up the National's walls. The light show caught the attention of many passers-by and for good reason, take a look here: https://bit.ly/3FJE5dZ #YoursToDiscover #art #lightshow #Makemorepossible

It’s been a week since the WFA Global Marketer Week and we’re only just coming down from the buzz - something about this year felt extra special. The atmosphere was electric throughout and the mix of insightful sessions from a stellar speaker line up, along with fantastic opportunities to connect with faces both old and new, meant that we left feeling energised and inspired. Here are some of our key takeaways: ☑️ Marketing effectiveness remains the number one issue for strategic marketers including budget accountability and measurement of ROI. 🤖 AI isn’t going anywhere and whilst the benefits can be great, challenges including data privacy, IP and brand safety need to be taken seriously. 🌍 Challenges continue within supply chains as the macro geopolitical situation impacts on global trade. 🌱 Authentic sustainability remains vital for brands attempting to resonate with global consumers. 📈 Inclusive Marketing offers tremendous opportunities to reach new consumers and deliver growth. ⭐ Future industry talent needs to master marketing fundamentals such as brand narrative, strategy and data & IT skills - aligning marketing capabilities with marketing opportunities. Do you agree? #GMW25 #WFA #BetterMarketing #Makemorepossible #Networking

Another fantastic Two+Two UK event took place last week, bringing creative and marketing students together from all over the UK to work on a live brief. This year it was all around minimising food waste for Stockport Council’s Climate Action Now initiative. Every year we leave with so much hope and excitement for the future after witnessing the talent of these young people who will shape our industry in the coming years. Our Creative Director, Paul Dunleavy, shared his thoughts as a returning judge and mentor of the winning team, helping to develop their campaign: “This was my 4th time judging at Two+Two and I continue to be blown away by the quality of the thinking and the confidence of the students' presentations. I can't wait to work with the winning team to see where we can take their already brilliant idea.” Huge congratulations to the 2025 winners the Red Snakes! #TwoPlusTwo #CreativeResource #MarketingTalent #NextGenCreatives #Collaboration
