We are thrilled that Tim, a charming Kiwi and handyman/carpenter extraordinaire (always a bonus) has joined the Fanfare team. He will be learning the ropes and working alongside Nicky this year. Together they are stock checking, preparing the warehouses for the forthcoming season, repairing and most excitingly, Tim will also be making some new tables; […]
January is the time for maintenance here at Fanfare headquarters. All our furniture is having a thorough going over and being replaced where necessary. Currently, we are working on the, forever popular, wooden folding chair. All 450 will be sat on and put through a gruelling workout by Nicky to make sure that they are […]

Think, walking down the aisle, the backdrop you get […]
