    Hi Colart Team, I wrote you few weeks ago suggesting you a \”green\” resolution for the new year: the 5R. After writing it, I have been thinking about  it, and one of my resolution for the new year is to alert/inform/get informed on this considerable challenge to keep our planet socially and environnementally  livable for our children. So today I would like to share with you some nice way to get informed on these topics with podcasts. These media are clearly engaged, but it is important to get a diversity of point of view, besides you can pick the subject that interest you in priority. 

    Chers collègues, j\’écrivai il y a quelques semaines un poste pour proposer une bonne résolution pour 2023 avec le 5R. En en discutant, je me suis dit qu\’une de mes résolutions allait d\’essayer de m\’informer plus, et d\’alerter, car ce n\’est que collectivement que nous ferons bouger les choses pour une planète viable plus longtemps pour nos enfants tant sur l\’aspect social qu\’environnemental (de toute façon tout est lié). Je vous partage donc des idées de podcasts à écouter. Ces podcasts sont plutot engagés, mais quelque soit vos convictions vous pouvez y trouver des sujets qui vous intéresseront en priorité.

    For both French and English speakers there is: Time to shift (some of them are available in English)

    For the english speakers: (list non exhaustive of course, maybe you also have suggestions)

    Pour les francophones, en voici d\’autres, tous disponibles sur Spotify (liste non exhaustive bien sur):

    • Greenletter Club
    • La Terre au carré (de Radio France, animé par Matthieu Vidard)
    • Le climat en questions
    • Chaleur humaine (du journal Le Monde)

    Wishing you a nice listening! En vous souhaitant une bonne écoute!

    For way back Wednesday let’s jump to Broadway, NYC in the 1950’s to the offices of Winsor & Newton.  These were the days of printing plates used in advertising, like this one from our archives.  I can’t help but wish I could walk the streets just to see the fashion and automobiles of the day!

    Further the start of Edding distribution in North America, we have just concluded a new distribution agreement with Edding for France.

    From beginning of April 2023, Colart should start selling in fine arts and craft channels the  creative markers ranges of Edding, which is currently acting in France only in B2B channels.

    We had the opportunity some days ago, to set up with Jasper, a training day for the whole French sales and marketing team animated by Edding France managers. This business development opportunity will enhance Colart position in graphic and creative markets where we already lead with Winsor & Newton offer. Edding ranges are fully complementary to ours, and it will therefore be an interesting growth possibility inspite a very competitive and busy market. 

    Thanks to all the ones who made this possible!

    The 1863 Winsor & Newton Sketching easel in Deal Wood.  What is Deal Wood, you ask?

    Deal was an archaic UK and US unit of volume used to measure wood. In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, a deal originally referred to a wooden board between 12 and 14 feet long that was traded as a maritime commodity.  So, there’s your trivia for the day.

    • Keep them coming Jimmy…..quite fascinating.

      I was amazed when I first moved to the USA how many ‘old’ measures are still in common use. We went and picked a peck of apples (we did not pick a peck of peppers!) as well as ordering our logs for the fire by the cord….

    • I also wonder Jimmy, based on your explanation, if there is any original connection with Deal in Kent – registered in the Domesday Book of 1086 and later one of the ‘Limbs’ to the Cinque Portes.

    • Ah Jimmy we need to link you up with Ian Garrett (a previous R&D director) who retired many years ago – he paid the Hub a visit this week and we were in awe of his anecdotes! Stefano is on the case to collect as many insights from Ian as possible (to reinforce our consumer query responses) and I’m sure you would have hours of fun discussing what Ian knows from the past!!! We’ll keep you in the loop
