Striking Places First Birthday since our Rebrand

We can hardly believe it but it’s Striking Places FIRST Birthday already. It is also National Honey Bee Day! We’re really chuffed to share it with bees! Bees are one of our favourite things; apart from wine, cheese and chocolate!

So we’re popping open the champagne to celebrate our one-year anniversary. Not our first year in business, obviously, but the first year since our rebrand.

Our year to date has included nothing but highs. We have had an incredible year; Restructured and re-incorporated and finished with a complete identity redesign. We worked hard and had a good time with some great success.

Now feels like the right time to take a brief moment to catch our breath and reflect on the journey.

The Story so far. We have….:

• Partnered with both @thebestof St Albans & Harpenden and @thebestof Welwyn & Hatfield
