Greetings from Sheffield.

I'm home for Christmas - at AW HQ in Sheffield. Actually writing this from our production company (AW-Aromatics) - last day today so this morning is a big deep clean, tidy up and leave everything perfect for next year.
I always feel a bit guilty because I know most of our customers are crazy busy at this time.. and here we are gently winding down.

We have a Christmas tradition where when the work is finished we order in pizza and wind-down wishing each other all the best - before heading off..
Shortly I'll drive across Sheffield to Affinity to HQ and do the Pizza thing again..

This is my last message in 2022. It's been another strange, sometimes challenging but anyway a wonderful year..
A year ago almost everyone at AW was down with covid after having a mask free party for the first time.. a year later it seems like everything and nothing has changed.. lots of staff off with covid or flu - get well quickly guys.
But in one year a lot has changed at AW.. Many many new products came online over the year.. this week alone - New Konjac Sponges, Hop Hare Bamboo Socks and a range of Feng Shui water fountains. Three amazing product groups I'm sure you can make money with in 2023. Anyway, much more to come next year.. we have big plans. Hope you are coming along for the ride..

Last week I was telling you about arriving in the UK to lovely snow. (If you missed it you can catch up here) Oh.. I thought that's nice... we are in for a white Christmas!!

They said there'll be snow at Christmas
They said there'll be peace on Earth
But instead it just kept on raining

But it seems like it's not a White Christmas at least here in Sheffield. But who knows it could snow yet..
This morning I checked in with all corners of AW - our teams all over the world all working hard until the last minute delivering great gifts for your business. From different worlds but all have one thing in common..
We are all immensely grateful for our customers - we are honored and happy to serve you and the support you give us is appreciated - worldwide!!
