    For anyone who hasn’t yet seen the new Winsor & Newton Artists’ Oil Colours put to use, here’s three paintings I made over the past long weekend. The top two are of a creek near my house and the bottom image is looking over a snow pile into the park at the end of my street. Only the new colours were used except for the addition of Winsor Yellow and Flake White Hue.

    The roll out for the new merchandising solution for Pro Marker continues. Newcastle Arts were persevering with the old Letraset Spinner option, as it was space saving and they preferred the spinning element. As such they were not keen to modernise to our previous upgrade, the inline solution. Needless to say they are delighted with our new 7 high spinner option which looks so much smarter in store than the old stand. Thank you to all involved who were responsible for bringing this new merchandising solution to the market.

    David Baker joined the Colart UK family in 2012 as a Regional Sales Manager. His remit sees him working with independent and education customers across a wide geographical area that encompasses North of England across to areas of East Anglia.

    He is a no nonsense out and out salesperson, who is always looking for the next opportunity and his work ethic is a great asset to the sales and marketing team; he is a tenacious salesperson and develops mutually beneficial plans with his customers to grow their businesses with Colart Brands and products.

    His open and passionate personality has enabled him to develop great relationships across his customer base. These relationships have resulted in many of his retailers becoming brand ambassadors for Colart brands, particularly Winsor & Newton.

    David has a wealth of customer facing experience to draw from including having previously worked for News International for 17 years attaining the position of Sales and Operations Manager.

    Outside of Colart, David is a family man supporting his wife and two daughters. He is a keen Newcastle United fan, enjoys walking and running. He has raised more than £25K for the Alder Hey Children’s Hospital and McDonald House where his daughter Carly has spent much time receiving lifesaving treatments.

    Congratulations David. We can take inspiration from David’s passion, hard work, and loyalty that he has shown throughout these past 10 years of service and wish him many more to come!

    Thank you for your support and dedication to the Colart business and our Colart Family.

Creating Impact Tip
Millions of tonnes of clothing, shoes and other textiles end up in landfill every year because very little is sent for recycling .

“The current fashion system uses high volumes of non-renewable resources, including petroleum, extracted to produce clothes that are often used only for a short period of time, after which the materials are largely lost to landfill or incineration. “This system puts pressure on valuable resources such as water, pollutes the environment and degrades ecosystems in addition to creating societal impacts on a global scale.” There are good reasons to seek out alternatives to chucking clothes in the bin – globally the fashion industry is responsible for 10% of all greenhouse gas emissions, with textile production alone is estimated to release 1.2 billion tonnes of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere every year. Vast amounts of water are also needed to produce the clothes we wear too and the fashion industry is responsible for 20% of global waste water.  At the same time we are buying more clothes than ever – the average consumer now buys 60% more clothing than they did 15 years ago. More than two tonnes of clothing are bought each minute in the UK, more than any other country in Europe. Globally, around 56 million tonnes of clothing are bought each year, and this is expected to rise to 93 million tonnes by 2030 and 160 million tonnes by 2050.

"Reuse. Recycle. Rethink — your clothes deserve a second life, not a landfill."
