In 2013, three friends from London pack in their sensible jobs to start a board game company. Over the next ten years they grow from three human potatoes to forty-five, from one game to over one hundred, and take root in thirty-five countries around the world.

Along the way they embark on a series of adventures. Launching the world's first board game vending machine. Patenting MOOP®technology, turning reclaimed ocean plastic into game cards. Bringing board games to festivals, to work dos with their Hosted Game Nights, and to schools with The Big Inventor Challenge.

Gibsons are a family-owned jigsaw puzzle and board game company, founded in 1919. They have designed a brilliant range to engage and inspire all generations.

Puzzles are made in the UK and Europe, using the thickest board on the market. All jigsaw puzzles are made from 100% recycled board and secured with biodegradable plastic tabs rather than shrink-wrap to reduce single-use plastic waste.

Creating original and innovative soft toys in London since 1999, Jellycat continues to combine luxurious fabrics with designs that are sometimes quirky, sometimes cute but always with a little something different that makes them stand out from the crowd!

The name Jellycat was dreamt up by a child who loved jellies and cats and giggled at the thought of the two together. The silliness of the name was a great reflection of the design and so it stuck!

Rachel Ellen Designs is an independent greetings card, stationery and gift business based in Nottingham. The company was founded in 1997 when Rachel retired from a career as a professional ballet dancer and started hand painting cards at the kitchen table in her London apartment.

Rachel’s charming hand-painted style is instantly recognisable and this combined with incredible attention to detail and insistence on the highest level of quality in every regard have helped make the company one of the leading publishers in the UK and market leaders in children’s cards and gifts.

Their greetings cards are 100% British made, in fact after being designed in house they are all printed within a two and a half mile radius of our premises (so virtually no carbon footprint). They are then die-cut, hand finished, cello wrapped, checked, picked, packed and despatched by their very own skilled in house team.

Ravensburger's first board game, "A Trip Around the World" from 1884, was not only fun for children and parents. They also discovered details about distant countries while playing.

Today their children's non-fiction book series "Why? How come? What for?" is not only interesting and informative. It also encourages play while it is equipped with little doors, sliders and pop-ups.

Rolife is a sub-brand under Robotime mthat focuses on designing, producing and selling adorable DIY craft kits such as miniature houses and 3D wooden puzzles.

In recent years, Rolife has been welcomed and loved by more and more people through its trendy DIY toys and has gradually become a leader in the DIY field.
