Merry Christmas Newsletter & Vegware’s 2012 in numbers :)
Cooee…just a quick note to say….
Merry Christmas! We would like to wish everyone a very very Happy Christmas and thank everyone for their support in 2012. It’s been a big year for us (see our 2012 in numbers below), and we’re really enjoying the ride. So here’s a BIG thank you to all our friends, well-wishers and customers. We’ll look forward to speaking again in 2013!
Last orders before Christmas & opening hours
The Vegware office closes on Friday 21st December, re-opening on Wednesday 2nd January. For delivery before Christmas, please order by 3pm on Wednesday 19th December. Or forever hold your peas.

So that was the last newsletter of 2012. Don’t be shy – feel free to send us chocolates, flowers, or any sort of artisan foodstuffs to our Edinburgh address. Or simply say hello on facebook or follow us on twitter at @vegware. Or if you actually want to talk about compostable packaging, we like that too. We’re on info@vegware.co.uk or ring 0845 643 0406.
All the best for a restful break filled with lashings of Stilton and hundreds of clementines,
Lucy and the Vegware team
