Back in June 2022, the whole Rachel Ellen Designs team got together at Cockliffe House in Nottingham to celebrate 25 years in business. We're now at 29 years, so this is a bit of a throwback, but it's one of our favourite days and we love having an excuse to share it.
June 2022. 25 years in. We're now at 29 and still going!
Cockliffe House was the perfect setting for a memorable day
Here are the best bits...
The Rachel Ellen Designs team, the people behind every order you place with us.
Rachel is still very much here
Rachel started this business and she's still running it. She's still involved in the design process, still cares deeply about the quality of every product, and was very much the centre of attention on the day. Nearly 30 years on, that hasn't changed, and we think that shows in the work.
Cake!
'YUMMY'!!! Said Rachel!
'Truly Wicked' fun!
As a surprise, the team recreated Spex, one of Rachel's earliest products from right back at the start of the business. It got a big reaction. What a 'Truly Wicked' party!
Pre-lunch games...
Outdoor games in the sunshine. Well deserved!
Afternoon tea...
The sandwiches and cakes were delicious!
Rachel's Mum and Dad...
Proud parents Barrie and Jan joined in the celebrations.
Rachel's 'This is your life' video...
We put together a surprise video for Rachel, with messages from customers, suppliers, friends and staff. Lots of laughs and a few tears!
