Had a brilliant time at the Mid Yorkshire Chamber of Commerce Expo Business Fair at Calderdale College today.
Our stall had a few tricks up its sleeves – Bananagrams to get brains ticking, Giant Jenga for conversation starters, and some very special touches thanks to the wonderful Katie Walden Illustration.
Katie kindly hand wrote all our Jenga questions (far more legible than shorthand scribbles) and created the beautiful Forget Me Not envelopes with her storytelling illustrations. A little reminder that every business has a story to share.

Forget Me Not is more than a flower. It’s how people – and brands – should be remembered.
