Derbyshire gift company Colleague Box ‘delivering happiness’ to more than a quarter of a million people

Founded during lockdown in May 2020 by husband-and-wife team Adam and Natalie Bamford, the firm has exceeded all expectations by winning multiple awards and turning over £1m in its first five months of trading.

Colleague Box initially offered small, letterbox-friendly gift packages to help businesses boost employee morale and stay connected during the pandemic.

It has since created more than 500 separate gift box designs of various sizes and contents, from a birthday subscription club for businesses and Christmas packages to Employee Appreciation Day gifts, seasonal and King’s Coronation gifts.
