Driving diversity At the time of writing we are just coming off the back of Black History Month, which highlighted the ongoing need for a spotlight on breaking down diversity barriers both in and out of the workplace. Therefore, in one of the insightful business features this issue, leading experiential learning company, Impact, gives an insight into the benefits of workplace diversity. As part of the feature, the company highlights many benefits of driving diversity in the workplace, which include boosting creativity and decision-making, promoting open-mindedness, and enhancing a business’ reputation. Check out the feature to see how you can encourage a more inclusive workplace. As the last issue of the year, we are looking forward into 2024, highlighting the innovative and downright exciting product offerings for the commercial opportunities in the year ahead. Features include a focus on gifts for under £10, handmade items, ethical gifts and, one of the biggest features of the year, a spotlight on Valentine’s Day. As if that wasn’t enough, we also have two fantastic company profiles, getting an insight into the inner workings of Mirabelle Jewellery and Crumble & Core, as well as show profiles that showcase what’s to come at Harrogate Christmas & Gift, Scotland’s Trade Fair Spring, Top Drawer Spring, and the new offering running alongside the January Furniture Show, the Home Interiors Show. All that’s left to say is a huge thank you to our supporters for yet another fantastic year celebrating the fantastic industry that we work in.
