Creature comforts

Thanks to you, one small business customer has been able to stay in business throughout the coronavirus pandemic.

As a special thanks, Creature Candy founder and director Lizzie Barker is offering 10% off products for Royal Mail staff, using the special code at the bottom of this article.

Creature Candy is a brand which not only offers a range of timeless, stylish, British-made products, but one that also raises awareness of, and money for, the conservation of Britain's declining wildlife species.

The business was created to inspire people to take active roles in conservation and help raise funds for the charities that endeavour to conserve our wildlife. The company proudly donates 10 per cent of the sale price of every product sold to 11 different British wildlife charities and one children's charity. 

‘I’ve used Royal Mail from the beginning,’ says Lizzie. ‘I use a few other couriers for my larger parcels, but on a daily basis, I’ll be in the post office sending prints, or cards, or notebooks. Royal Mail is absolutely vital for my business.

‘On the parcels I’ve been sending through Royal Mail, I’ve been putting a little sticker on, just to say: “Dear Postie, thank you so much for posting my parcels and for keeping my business running. Stay safe.”

‘I think it’s really important that we keep communicating to postmen and women that we’re really grateful for all they’re doing. Without them, I wouldn’t have a business.’

Creature Candy is currently offering colleagues 10 per cent off their products when they use code RM10 on the website.
