Innovative gifting for Christmas with Colleague box

An award-winning business which is based in Derbyshire, Colleague Box, has revealed its newest innovation a converted former horse trailer that's now available for on-site gifting experiences, celebrations, festivals and events.

The trailer, which was specially adapted for the Derby business by Bespoke Conversions; a family-run company based over in Cheshire, is fitted out with a fully-stocked bar, plus a triple fridge to keep stock at its perfect temperature. It's been dubbed 'Tilly' by the Colleague Box team.

Colleague Box, recently awarded a five-star food hygiene rating by Derby City Council, have teamed up with local firms including healthy drinks business So Good Kombucha and Project D doughnuts, who can provide personalised doughnuts for any event.

Tilly's first outing was a wellbeing event for Lister House Surgery Derby before she was taken to Sort Group, whose conveyancing business is based at Derby Conference Centre.

CEO and co-founder Natalie Bamford said: “We're really very excited about Tilly and the different direction that she can take our business in.

“Whilst we have seen a lot of interest in corporate events, ideal for those whose workforce has returned to the office after working from home during the pandemic, it's also perfect for occasions like weddings, baby showers, birthdays, gender reveal parties and big Christmas parties. Tilly's decorated and stocked accordingly to suit each event. It's so exciting for us to be able to do this!

“Our first couple of events were very popular well received. Sort Group have been clients of ours for a while and they loved the idea of having Tilly visit their offices in Derby.

“Each employee received a Colleague Box, which was covered by a customised Sort Group sleeve. Inside were personalised gifts like water bottles and notepads. They also received a drink of their choice and a delicious Project D doughnut decorated with the company logo, too.”

Added COO Adam Bamford: “Tilly has been a good few months in the making and it's been all hands on deck to get her ready for the first few events, But we're really pleased with the results.

“We've had very positive feedback and Tilly is booked for all sorts of events, from business breakfasts where merchandise can be branded to celebrations, Halloween-themed corporate events, even World Cup parties, where we'll be serving pizza, beer and Prosecco from our serving hatch.”

Emma Brown, Head of Marketing at Sort Group, is a big fan of Tilly the Trailer. She said: “We have been working with Colleague Box for a while now and just love the idea of rewarding employees for their hard work.

“We have also used Colleague Box when sending gifts to clients, and for our employee reward scheme.

“The event has gone down so well; everyone returning back to their desks after collecting their Colleague Box has a smile on their faces. The motto 'Delivering Happiness' really is true.”
