Last week, we held a charity bake sale to raise funds for Suffolk Mind, a local charity dedicated to providing a wide range of mental health and wellbeing services 🧁🥮🍪😋 A special thanks goes to our Regulatory Officer, Evie Jenkins, for organizing the event and treating us to some delicious homemade goodies. Evie would also like to extend her gratitude to everyone who baked, donated, and participated in the sale. Special mentions go to Business Development Manager jack Clifton and members of our technical team Zoe Pearson, Stephen Rayner, and Simona Miteva for contributing such irresistible treats. Among the favourites were the sell-out brownies, cinnamon donuts, sausage rolls, cookies and cakes. Thanks to Evie’s efforts and a generous donation from our MD, Joe Maynard, an impressive total of well over £200 was raised for Suffolk Mind. #CharityBakeSale #SuffolkMind #MentalHealthSupport #Fundraising

Earlier this year, thanks to an excellent employee suggestion, we proudly launched the Broadway Social & Wellbeing Committee. Chaired by Shift Supervisor Chris Bradford, the committee's mission is to foster camaraderie across teams, promoting employee interaction, engagement, and wellbeing. With an annual budget dedicated to treats and events, they’re already making an impact. On Saturday, we hosted an evening of drinks, food, darts, pool, and good cheer at our local sports bar. It was great to see a strong turnout from all departments. Warehouse Supervisor Marcos Allen organised a pool tournament, with Marketing Manager James Rous narrowly defeating Operations Director David Rutkins in an enthralling final 🔴 🟡 🎱 An enjoyable evening and we’re already looking forward to the next one! #TeamBroadway #SocialCommittee #EmployeeWellbeing #CompanyCulture #SocialEvent

Starry Skies is our effect of the month for October. 🌌 As our nights draw in, this dazzling sparkle effect takes inspiration from the crisp beauty of autumn nights. The translucent purple base deepens as the wall thickness increases, transitioning from light to dark like day fading to night. Specks of silver glitter sparkle like stars in a clear, night sky, adding a touch of celestial magic. Starry Skies is designed for use with polymers of exceptional clarity, including GPPS, PET, PMMA and SAN. It can be used in applications such as packaging, domestic lighting, reusable cutlery and homeware. This special effect is approved for food contact and meets RoHS compliance standards. Elevate your products with a touch of star quality!
