As we wrap up another incredible year, we're excited to reflect on the milestones we've achieved, the partnerships we've strengthened, and the positive impact we've made in our community. Here's a look back at 2024:
🏆 Award-Winning Moments: This year, we were honoured with several renowned awards, including Best Small Business at the Women in Business NI Awards and Most Remarkable Marketing in Retail & eCommerce at the Most Remarkable Marketing Awards in Belfast. Our team also shone at the Newry Chamber Employee & Team Awards, winning Best Retail Team, and our very own Corinna was recognised as Best Family Business Employee. This is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our amazing team!
🎂 Celebrating Our People: 2024 marked significant anniversaries for two of our team members. We celebrated Jacinta’s 20 year anniversary & Corinna’s 30 year anniversary with us. Their passion and contributions have been substantial in driving our success. A huge thank you to each of you for your dedication and loyalty!
⚡ 🪩Welded Bracelet Experience on the Road 🚗: It was a busy year for our Welded Bracelet Experience! Our team attended many pop-up events including Shauna Fay x Elody Bride’s ‘An Afternoon of Wedding Style’, Ladies Day at the Down Royal Racecourse, The Walk in Wardrobe, The Bellamianta Christmas Retreat and Grainne McCoy’s Ladies Night. Thank you to everyone who attended these events - It was a pleasure meeting you all and joining in on the fun!
💖 Giving Back: Giving back has always been a core part of our values. This year, we partnered with MacMillan Cancer Support, Cancer Fund for Children, Centred Soul, Womens Aid Armagh Down, The Southern Area Hospice and St Vincent de Paul to support their goals and initiatives within the community. We held a successful Coffee morning in our showroom, raising £764.39 for MacMillan Cancer Support. We also organised the Centred Soul ‘She Speaks’ Event to raise awareness for this local social enterprise dedicated to empowering women. Our team also took part in Cancer Fund for Children Dragon Boat Race to help raise funds to provide children with the resources and support they need in their cancer journey. To end the year, we donated Christmas gifts to Women in Refuge at Womens Aid Armagh Down and The Southern Area Hospice Big Bauble Bonanza and supported St Vincent de Paul’s ‘Giving Tree’ Christmas Campaign. These initiatives allowed us to contribute to important causes and engage with our community in meaningful ways. A heartfelt thank you to everyone for their support - we couldn’t have done it without you!
As we step into 2025, we look forward to building on this year's successes and exploring new opportunities to create value for our customers, our team and our partners!
Thank you to everyone who made 2024 a memorable year. Here's to an even more amazing 2025! ✨
