This month has been busy - with socials, heatwaves, festivals and a fond farewell.
We were so happy to welcome the return of the Toffee Factory summer social, which had been a regular event in the past. We reacquaint our chit chat skills, dusted off our dancing shoes and headed to the event space for a night of socialising, food and fun. It was great to meet newcomers to the building and catch up with the older ones too. A special thank you went to Simon and his car for collecting all the pizza!
This month also saw the return of the Ouseburn festival where Toffee Factory hosted the stalls of record and vintage clothing sellers. Matthew bagged himself a new (old) vinyl* and the day was a resounding success with over 1,200 people through the doors!
Like most people in the UK we also had our experience of the heatwave that baked the country, even up here in the North East. It was a rather toasty office experience with our thermostat reaching a Factory 35 HQ record of 30.5°C. In classic British fashion to combat the heat we headed to Di Meo’s for an afternoon ice cream (with sprinkles of course).
And finally but most importantly, this month we say a very fond farewell to Robyn - our first ever employee. Since joining us in late 2019 she has brought an enthusiasm and energy to our studio each and every day that will be missed by us all. We wish her all the best with her next adventure in life and can’t thank her enough for the work, support and friendship she has shared with us all over the past two and half years. We know many of you will miss her too.
