We’ve added a line to every colleagues job description. “Try every day to carry out a random act of kindness for a customer, a colleague or a member of the public…even one who doesn’t even come in to our shops.” Being kind is the best way to do business.

Authentic kindness at the heart of its business, well done James Timpson 🤩

Every year my heart breaks thinking about people who spend Christmas alone + it's the ONLY reason I've enjoyed working in pubs on Christmas Day. This is so lovely from Fourbears Books! I hope many people who would otherwise be alone come + join them for games + mince pies.🎄📚

It was honour to be a part of this panel hearing the inspiring stories of SDG action across the industry and sharing our work at the Publishers Association. Thank you very much to STM for having me!

My story of Olympic spirit from Athletics on Saturday. I sat by a lovely man from Australia. He kept pulling out new flags from his bag & waving them. I asked him about it, “I bring the 9 smallest nations flags with me as they won’t have many people in the stands” 🥹 #Paris2024
