Go Penguins at Utility

Ssssh! We have a sneak preview of our beautiful Utility penguin, specially designed by Neil Keating for us as part of the Go Penguins! event in Liverpool this Christmas.

Pop along to the Home Store at 60 Bold Street from November 22nd to see our new addition and do a spot of penguin spotting along the Winter's Trail.

Utility is 10!

Last Friday we celebrated a 'Decade in Design' with our 10th anniversary and launch of our brand new catalogue. We had a fantastic time celebrating with a big party at our Bold Street stores, so thanks to everyone who came by to join in the fun.
