Czech This Out!
Our Pre-chewed Pencils made it on to the news in Czech Republic! The piece featured interviews with horrified members of the public, and inexplicably, a hamster!? Click here to watch it.
Bloomin’ Heck
Gardener Alan Titchmarch has his own show, and took the opportunity to talk about our pre-chewed pencils today. Good Ol’ Alan – He’s first for tips on growing hydrangeas and pencil news. Watch here
Evans Above
Today Mark had a chat to Chris Evans on his Radio Two show about Concentrate and it’s products. He’s a really nice fella and seemed to like our stuff! If you’d like to have a listen to the interview click here for it in quicktime format, and here for it in realplayer format. Lovely Jubbly.

Promo a go go!
Today we filmed a promotional video about Concentrate for John Lewis. It’ll go up on the John Lewis.com and Concentrate website on Christmas Day! Hopefully you’ll have better things to do that day – but keep your eyes peeled!
Enterprising Academy
Peter Jones has a dream. In fact he has a few. There’s one where he dreams his shoes are made out of pastry (which is what he’s probably thinking about in the photo). He also has a dream to start an academy to teach entrepreneural skills, [...]
