BATTERY hens may become a thing of the past with a supermarket giant signalling a shift to free-range eggs”. This is quoted from a Herald Sun article in todays online newspaper.

You may ask what this has to do with Hampering Around, quite a lot really.  We are continually looking at the supply chain we deal with and the way that our products come to us, particularly of course food items.  In sticking with our company philosophy of quality items that will help us “leave a lasting impression” we are always looking at not just what we can supply our clients but how it is produced and has come to us.

This year as part of our new catalogue, to be released in October, we will be looking to add comments and notes on certain parts of our range, providing some detail on where they come from and how they are produced.

This week a number of us attended the Gift Fair in search of new ideas, products and trends that we could incorporate into our gifts and business.  In particular we were looking at specific categories such as Pets as this is one area we are seeing emerging, along with several others.  We are continually focussing on improving our range however only doing this based on what we know is of interest to our existing and prospective clients.   Send us a post telling us what is of interest to you and what you’d like to see us adding to our range.
