When sourcing products we actively place the social and environmental practices of the supplier and or manufacturer at the forefront of our decision making process.

We share our own codes of practice and ethics model, as well as our Living Wage status and encourage suppliers to frank open dialogue concerning these issues.

Our suppliers come to us through a wide variety of channels, trade fairs, industry word of mouth, customer recommendations.

While some are inevitably new to us, we have been dealing with the majority of our suppliers for years and or decades.

Many of whom we now count as friends.
