The Wall 4 years, 3 months agoRecently Lindengruppen asked us about our approach to the future of work, knowing we have embedded a hybrid working solution across the group. They wrote an article that is now live on their website. We’ve also posted an article on LinkedIn – please read and share amongst your own networks, if you wish: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6890258249367502849
Don’t forget, this happens because of YOU. With a culture where we continue to encourage open dialogue we can create environments that are created for us, by us.
Our London Hub evolves: https://intranet.colart.com/en/business/locations/london-hub/
Our Breda Hub embraces the hybrid working model: https://intranet.colart.com/en/news/breda-hub-open-for-business/
We develop, review, re-develop and evolve “ways of working” https://intranet.colart.com/en/business/ways-of-working/
And we aim to become an industry lead in the ways we innovate and “disrupt”, defining “how” we work in the future: https://intranet.colart.com/en/news/leading-through-digital-disruption/… -

The Wall 4 years, 3 months agoI am giving you below a good reason to celebrate today !
As most of you are aware, we are working in Colart on what we call the ยซ Labelling Project ยป. This project was initiated due to constant evolution with Regulations in EU = the labels for the products we manufacture and that are sold in EU cannot continue to meet regulatory labelling requirements as they were.
Therefore, one big (first:) step of the project was to amend 3 077 artworks for our brands. This step requires a lot of work between different departments to define the changes, align, amend, develop new cutterguides when needed, trial, check, approve etcโฆ
And today is the big day as we can officially announce that ALL ARTWORKS for the “Labelling Project” have been amended and are now available for all the products impacted by these changes.
Of course, there are a lot of other big steps underway for this project, but I thought we could at least celebrate this huge one !
So very well done and a big thank you to all the ones involved in this process of amending, checking, approving all these 3 077 artworks : @fatimakcolart-com, @eduardohcolart-com, @aaronfcolart-com; @alex-oucolart-com; @claudia-haffordtearcolart-com, @fatimakcolart-com0, @fatimakcolart-com2, @fatimakcolart-com4, @fatimakcolart-com6, @fatimakcolart-com8, @eduardohcolart-com0, @eduardohcolart-com2, @eduardohcolart-com4, @eduardohcolart-com6, @eduardohcolart-com8, @eduardohcolart-com0, @eduardohcolart-com2, @eduardohcolart-com4, @eduardohcolart-com6.
You have been amazing !
Thanks,

Well done everyone, great to see huge progress on such a big and challenging project.
Looking at the roll call of people, it also looks like the lab has successfully pioneered work to clone Eduardo no less than 9 times which I’m sure provided lots of extra people power to the project. Either that or there is a bug for to be fix on the wall!…

The Wall 4 years, 3 months agoIโm pleased to announce that we have launched the new Spain Colart B2B Trade website (https://trade.colart.com/es). This is a result of months of hard work and planning. I would like to thank the Spain team: Vicente and Barbara and also my exceptional project team: Nicky, Rachael, Arthur, Stuart for their excellent work on this project. The site has 224 registered clients so far. We went through several iterations of test orders, technical fixes, and even a big holiday period so we can finally release this website to the customers. We have received positive feedback from the initial user testing, and everyone was pleased to proceed to a full launch of the website. Again, huge thanks to everyone involved in this endeavor and I look forward to opening the next site.

thanks for this great fact Debbie….isn’t it amazing to think how life has changed since Winsor &Newton first came together. It might be interesting to list what has changed for W&N too or indeed what has stayed the same ….I could think of a few things….what would you list?…

Thanks for the reminder Debbie. Also like your idea Jane… curious if there would even be 1 thing that is still the same from 190 years ago… a formulation of any of our colours maybe? …
-
Jane Beeston replied 4 years, 3 months ago
how about our endless pursuit of quality and working hand in hand with artists?…
-
true. could be. that is a values/mindset point that I did not have on my radar when I typed the comment earlier. I was more thinking about the solid things like manufacturing, product development, product quality, etc. But you are right, the ethos and vision/mission are part of that too…

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."
