What began in a kitchen in the woods is now leading a worldwide revolution–changing the way we drink. The pioneering movement of offering those not drinking alcohol a sophisticated, adult option has since become a segment all its own: the ever-growing no and low alcohol category.

Find out why we are honoured to be supporting this culturally important exhibition at the British Library.

Chinese communities have been calling the UK home for much longer than many realise. Many are able to trace their heritage to regions across East and Southeast Asia, which has led to a rich and diverse culture across the UK. At this new free display at the British Library the exhibition reflects on this long history through photographs, manuscripts and interviews with those who have lived through it.

Christmas Message from Nimesh Shah CEO of Blick Rothenberg

A selection of treats for the festive period

This is our team on our Christmas Jumper Day where we raised over £1,200 to support the appeal. Please visit the London Air Ambulance Charity site and learn about the great work they do and how you can support their appeal this Christmas.

We would also like to take this opportunity to mention that our Charity of the year is London’s Air Ambulance. London’s Air Ambulance is reliant on public donations to meet its annual running costs of approximately £10 million. The London Air Ambulance works closely with the NHS and receives some funding from its NHS partners, but it is not an NHS organisation. They need to raise £15 million to replace their 2 helicopters by 2024.

You can sign up to receive the latest news, insights and resources developed by our experts directly to your inbox.

Welcome to our Christmas selection box. A feast of goodies to watch, listen to and even download over the festive season.
