Chalkboards UK and WoodenBox UK at Robinsons Brewery Trade Show

On Tuesday 19th April 2016, Chalkboards UK and WoodenBox UK exhibited at the Robinsons Brewery Trade Show at the St. Helens Rugby League ground at Langtree Park.

Exhibiting alongside brands such as Sipsmiths, Diageo, Magners, Stowford Press, Frobishers, Fentimans, The Lakeland Distillery, Kraken Rum and others; our new stand really made a big impression.

Centre piece was the new Rustic Display Crate bundle, which attracted a great deal of attention and was ideal for displaying a wide range of products from both ranges.

The main aim of the show is to give Robinsons landlords the opportunity to look at new food and drink products to sell, as well as new ways to promote them.

It was a great day for us, selling a number of our show offers on the day, as well as making new contacts amongst our fellow exhibitors.

We hope to be talking to you all soon!

Handmade Burger Co. at Grand Central Birmingham

The working relationship between Chalkboards UK and handmade burger Co. continues to develop as we helped to fit out their new Grand Central Birmingham restaurant.

Leicester University Students' Union Gets a Face-lift

Chalkboards UK and WoodenBox UK have both been working with the Students' Union at Leicester University for a number of years.

Recently, they decided to have a complete face-lift of their facilities, making them more contemporary and appealing to the students.

Our two businesses were asked to provide framed chalkboards for the menu displays and rustic trays and crates to display the produce.

The end results are stunning, making it look more like a high-end city centre brand than a Students' Union.

If you'd like more information on how Chalkboards UK or WoodenBox UK can help with your retails displays, please don't hesitate to contact us on 01384 445844 or e-mail sales@porterandwoodman.co.uk

Beautifully Crafted for BrewDog

At Chalkboards UK, we're always happy to develop bespoke products for clients, never more so than when BrewDog approached us to design a new table top chalkboard for their bars.

The board was to promote their Punk IPA craft beer on bar tops around the country. BrewDog wanted a product that reflected the brand, so we designed a board with a top shaped to the contours of their shield logo, set in a hardwood base.

After samples were made and approved, an initial order was received and completed in two weeks. Their marketing department and bar managers were so pleased with the chalkboards, we received a repeat order for the same quantity a few months later.

Our work with BrewDog hasn't stopped there. They wanted a special sliding lid box made for the launch of a speciality craft beer called 'Death or Glory'.

Our sister company, WoodenBox UK, was able to design a hardwood box with a heat-branded logo that fitted the bill. Again, pre-production samples were made and once signed off, the order was delivered in less than two weeks, just in time for the launch of the beer.

The first 1000 orders of the beer received a bottle in the special presentation box.

These two bespoke products have allowed us to build up a great working relationship with BrewDog, for whom we are now working on another project for larger shaped chalkboards for their bottle shops.
