Sustainability and corporate responsibility are huge, the buzz words of the last decade or so. Since the beginning of the year we have been working with The Proper Welsh Milk Company developing the ‘Proper Welsh’ brand, which has launched in direct response to the issue of localness.

Proper Welsh provides an option to people who want to know where their food is coming from; with locally produced and packaged milk in Wales. It has initially been launched in North Wales and is already been stocked in Tesco with other supermarkets hoped to be coming on board in the next few months.

If you are Proper Welsh, why not become a fan on Facebook

Sport has traditionally played a big role in business, it provides a great icebreaker for conversations on the phone, in person and now over the internet. Its quite prevalent at this point in time with the Six Nations taking place and with rugby a patriotic driving force of Welsh culture, it was fitting that we adapted the brand of Welsh dairy farming co-operative Calon Wen to support the Welsh team in 2011. To find out more about Calon Wen, why not become a fan on their Facebook page.

Doesn't time fly when you are having fun... Only last month we celebrated our fifth birthday, which was a fantastic milestone, and is for any business. To celebrate we did a number of things, including the launch of our lovely new website along with dispatching a number of packages to our friends and customers. Hopefully some of you planted the gift inside the package and are now experiencing growth and fruition ready for today's St. David's Day celebrations.
