Greetings from Sheffield

I'm still at AW HQ and also spending time with the team at AW Aromatics - the aromatics factory. Or maybe it should be called the ideas factory, they are just bursting with ideas - so many new products in the pipeline. Of course not all will come to fruition but I can see that in the next few months exciting things are happening. 
Plus the move to our new factory and warehouse is going to happen soon, within two weeks we should have access to the warehouse area which means we will have enough space to pick and pack white label products for immediate dispatch. It's happening guys! AW-Aromatics.com  is your new secret source. It's all happening.. Just today we are launching a funky range of hand and body lotions. I have been testing the product and I can tell you I have the smoothest, softest skin and OMG.. I smell fabulous :). Of course as you would expect from AW they are free from Parabens, Sulphates and other nasties. Check below.
Today is Friday the 13th..  but Tomorrow is Fair Trade Day. I know which one I prefer. 

Fair Trade day.. who knew there was an awareness day for that? Of course everyday should be fair.. and at AW I don't like to blow our own trumpet too much.. but we have been trading fairly for over 20 years. I notice these days there is more awareness of climate change issues as well as treating artisans in developing countries fairly, check it out at Fair Trade Day.
Check our Indonesia products page.. Check our India Products page..  It's all fair trade. also our Cotton products page.. saving the planet since 1995.



I'm so excited because a container arrived from Indonesia full of the products I was working on a few months ago, if you are a regular reader of this newsletter you will recall my last visit to Java and Bali in Indonesia.
One product that we developed from scratch was Bee & Insect boxes, made with driftwood and eco-friendly albesia wood.
Also from the same family comes delightful garden bird boxes. 
It's from a nice family business in Sukawati not that far from our warehouse. Kadek is the boss, a very switched on lady and her husband is the artisan and creator.. we gave them the basic idea and over the space of a few weeks the samples were developed.. every now and then dropping off new designs at my hotel. Eventually we gave them a substantial order. That was November last year, this week we have some of the range (more on the way) in our warehouse in Sheffield and on sale.


This Kadek with the first attempt..

Unfortunately I don't have more pictures because they are a delightful smiley enthusiastic couple. Anyway the thing is I believe the deal was life changing for this family and together we made a product that your customers will love, and the bees and insects in their gardens will love, you will love it also.. it all good. What could be more fair trade?
See below.

It's all going on at AW.. I love it all.

Hope you have a lovely weekend - (free shipping to celebrate Fair Trade Day)
