Andrew Gardner posted a thoughtful comment on a recent post of mine in which I talked about a member of the public asking if I would sell her a Queensberry album. He's concerned that Queensberry's aim to build their brand amongst brides might turn the albums into a commodity and encourage discounting (eg "click here for cheapest QBY albums!")

Rex is a regular coffee drinker and if ever you were to meet him you would instantly know that he was a straight up kind of guy. Rex keeps a quiet eye on our town. He rises early and walks the hills around Lyttelton. Rex knows stuff. People share with him because they know that he is that straight up kind of guy. He can be trusted. Our town also has its share of Astral travelers, bad eggs, party radicals, poets and pop stars. There is a lot of spirit here ... all under the quiet and watchful eye of Rex. James and Co at the Lyttelton Coffee Company make the coffees that keep these spirits on form. To View More >>

We asked one of our print consultants about their commitment to sustainability a few days ago, and they were rather puzzled by the question. "But of course," they said. "It goes without saying doesn't it?  Sustainable plantation paper ... ECF processing ... vegetable-based inks. We don't beat the drum about it, that's just the way it is these days." We feel the same way, but we're regularly asked the same question, so here's Queensberry's philosophy on the environment and sustainability... Humanity's biggest impact on the environment is generally from our daily practices. That coffee is gone To View More >>
