This week the whole team got together for an in-person meeting, which we try to do every couple of months. With most members of staff living outside Bristol, where our office is (and as far afield as Dunblane in Scotland!), these meetings are an important way for us to catch up and collaborate on work matters, as well as spend some much-needed time together offline!

Happy New Year to all our followers!

We recently learnt that we were awarded a BIC Supply Chain Excellence Award for 2024-2025 for efficiency and use of technologies and standards/best practices in the book industry supply chain!

The panel awarded us additional points for accessibility work and significant improvement in website accessibility from last year. We've been working really hard on these aspects of the business, so it's great to have this recognised!

Merry Christmas from the Channel View team!

This year we are making a donation to The Children's Literacy Charity. The Children's Literacy Charity supports disadvantaged children and aims to close the literacy gap, ensuring that no child is left behind. We wanted to support this organisation as children’s literacy was really important to Flo’s mum Liv who sadly passed away earlier this year. Liv was a keen volunteer at a local school and we hope that this donation will honour her work and the impact she has had on her local community. For more information about the Children's Literacy Charity, please visit their website https://bit.ly/4iLqbXF.

We hope that you enjoy the festive season and we wish you all a very merry Christmas and a happy and healthy 2025 ✨
