    As ever with SGB, the British products are great quality and the service from the SGB folk is excellent. The goods arrived well packaged and on time. A pleasure to do business with which is rare nowadays and there's no Chinese tat on offer!

Meet the Maker: With Love Project

Founded by creative directors Chris Roberts and Rob Evans from their Manchester base, With Love Project embarked on an extraordinary journey across Britain to document makers, producers and craftspeople who create with genuine passion and purpose. Travelling from the Hebrides to Cornwall in search of artisans driven by conviction rather than commerce, they've captured over forty inspiring stories through award-winning photography and film—asking each maker one essential question: why do you do what you do? Their celebrated limited-edition hardback books, including the acclaimed 'For the Love of Food' chronicling twenty-five British food and drink producers, showcase everyone from hand-diving scallop harvesters on Skye to Cornish tea plantation pioneers. Specialising in brand storytelling through creative direction, photography and film, With Love Project champions British craftsmanship whilst helping purposeful brands connect authentically with their audiences, celebrating the backbone of Britain's maker community.
