Unfortunately ... http://www.foundationltdblog.co.uk/?p=528 Last week saw the culmination of weeks of preparation for National Meet the Buyer 2010, the largest food and drink event in Yorkshire. Having been involved in producing the identity and supporting collateral for the event, I was greatly excited to pop along and see the event come together. National Meet ... http://www.foundationltdblog.co.uk/?p=514 The Foundation message is spreading far and wide, Rome, New York and now..... Bath!!
