A Heartfelt Thank You to Our Design Partners!
2022 has been a turbulent year, but we’re looking up! We’re celebrating five years of Buttercrumble and we couldn’t do it without you.
We feel a great sense of achievement in reaching our 5th birthday. According to the Office for National Statistics’ recent findings (2020) 57.5% businesses don’t survive their first 5 years. Despite these discouraging numbers and the challenging COVID-19 pandemic, Buttercrumble have defied the odds to success.
The strength of our community has guided us through murky waters and over rocky landscapes. We want to publicly acknowledge the people who have transformed our small business dream into a reality. To mark this milestone, we’ve planned a succession of creative interventions. These include the Butter Nutter Awards to celebrate loyal cheerleaders who have followed our journey since 2017.
Buttercrumble designed and 3D-printed 25 award figurines. The figurines depict the studio’s friendly bear mascot wearing a Yorkshire flat-cap in homage to the founders’ roots. Each bear was carefully packaged and presented with aplomb to the lucky recipients.
At Buttercrumble, we are committed to cultivating a culture of creativity, communication, and collaboration. This culture has been made possible by our educators, mentors, and partners, and it will continue to evolve as we make new friends on our journey.
We have more activations planned (so keep your peaches peeled) and we always strive to support others. If you have a question about design or the creative industries, please don’t hesitate to get in touch! It’s always a pleasure to chat, and we have a number of helpful, complementary resources we’d love to share with you.
